To determine which qualities do not belong in the student's list of qualities of light, let's analyze each statement:
I. Can be taken in or absorbed by objects - This is a quality of light since light can be absorbed by materials. II. Reflects by bending as it travels through one material into another - This statement is somewhat misleading. While light can bend (refract) when it enters a different medium, reflection involves a change of direction without bending. Therefore, this statement contains inaccuracies about reflection and refraction. III. Allows people to see colors - This is a valid quality of light; colors are perceived due to light. IV. Can be destroyed - Light can dim or be absorbed but is not "destroyed" in the traditional sense. Hence, this statement is misleading.
Based on this assessment, the statements II and IV do not accurately represent qualities of light.
Thus, the correct answer is:
D. II and IV
