c yellow and blue

Answer 1

To create a tertiary color, you need to mix a primary color with a secondary color. In the options given, the correct pairs that include a mix of a primary color (red, blue, yellow) and a secondary color (green, orange, purple) to form a tertiary color are:

- **A: red (primary) and blue (primary)** creates purple (secondary), but not a tertiary.
- **B: red (primary) and yellow (primary)** creates orange (secondary), but not a tertiary.
- **C: yellow (primary) and blue (primary)** creates green (secondary), but not a tertiary.
- **D: yellow (primary) and green (secondary)** can be mixed to create a tertiary color, specifically yellow-green.

Therefore, the correct answer is **D: yellow and green**.
