the answer seems to be b)
because Hg2I2 would appear red only if it emits red photons
now it is given that it absorbs red photons hence it would emit them when it falls from the excited state

Answer is B

I'm pretty sure

HgI2 is red-orange in colour........So it emits red photons and absorbs green photons
(Red and green here refer to the wavelengths of the photons)
