Alberto Leach · Answer 1

B

Explanation:

If you pass white light through a blue filter, then only blue color will appear on the other end. This is because a blue filter will only allow blue light through it. And will absorb other color. In other words the rest colors would disappear. Hence the camera would receive just blue light. This phenomenon is referred to as color by subtraction.
