    La respuesta es la B / The answer is B

    Explanation:

    La clorofila, el pigmento que hace que las hojas sean verdes, absorbe luz en las longitudes de onda violeta y azul y asimismo en el rojo; dado que refleja la luz verde, parece verde.

    Chlorophyll, the pigment that makes the leaves green, absorbs light in the violet and blue wavelengths and also in the red; Since it reflects green light, it looks green.
