    B. red

    Explanation:

    Electromagnetic spectrum is range of the frequencies and their respective wavelengths of the various type of the electromagnetic radiation.

    In order of the decreasing wavelength the spectrum are:

    Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet

    Increasing wavelength is the opposite trend. Thus, The longest visible wavelength is red and the shortest is violet.

    Also, Violet light gets scattered the most while the red light gets scattered the least.

    During the time of the sunset, the Earth is rotating away from the Sun. Thus, most of the light colors scatters in the ways and the color that least scatter which is red reaches the Earth.

    That's why, at the time of sunrise and sunset, the sky looks red.
