In marine environments, where less light is available compared to terrestrial environments, plants often adapt by increasing their ability to absorb light. Specifically, many marine plants, including some types of algae, possess pigments that allow them to absorb light effectively in the blue and green wavelengths, which penetrate water better than other wavelengths.
Out of the provided options, the most suitable adaptation would be:
**Proteins that absorb green light.**
This adaptation would help marine plants utilize the available light more effectively in their underwater environments.
