B. They are reflected.

Explicación

## Step 1The color of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light that it reflects. This is due to the fact that our eyes are sensitive to certain wavelengths of light, and the color we perceive is the result of the wavelengths that are reflected back to our eyes.## Step 2When we look at a red wagon, the red wavelengths of light are reflected back to our eyes. This is because the wagon is red, and it reflects red light.## Step 3The other options, such as absorption, diffraction, and refraction, do not apply in this case. Absorption would mean that the wagon is taking in the light, not reflecting it. Diffraction and refraction involve the bending of light, which is not what is happening when we see a red wagon.
