Answer:

The correct answer is C) Chlorophyll a and b absorb light energy at slightly different wavelengths

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is the most common and important pigment among plants. Type a has its absorption peak closer to the 400 nm, meanwhile, the b type has its absorption peak closer to 500 nm. This means that the wavelengths are slightly different, and this changes a bit their functions.
