    A) does not absorb green light

    Explanation:

    The wavelength of light absorbed by the eye lies between 400 nm to 700 nm and the spectrum of light is known as the visible spectrum.

    The eye of the organism sees the color or wavelength which is reflected by the object or that is not absorbed by the object.

    In the given question, the chlorophyll pigment present in the chloroplast appears green in color because the chlorophyll pigment absorbs the energy of all wavelength but is not able to absorb the green light and thus green light wavelength is reflected back by the chlorophyll. This green wavelength is then perceived by the cone cells of the eye and we see the green color of the plants.

    Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.
