In marine environments, where less light is available, marine plants typically adapt by having proteins that absorb light in the blue and green spectrum, as these wavelengths penetrate water better than red light.
Among the options provided, the most appropriate adaptation would be:
proteins that absorb green light
This adaptation allows marine plants to maximize their ability to photosynthesize under low-light conditions.
