Answer:

The answer is D. oxygen atoms trust me I got it wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at paragraph 6. It says that oxygen atoms are known to emit photons of green and red. Because photons are responsible for the light that we see, oxygen atoms result in green light. This is a cause-effect relationship. When electrons collide with oxygen atoms (cause), they release green photons (effect).
