Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:

"Tara sees a red cardboard box on the floor. Which of the following is taking place?  A.  Tara's eyes are absorbing all colors of light except for red.  B.  The box is absorbing red light, which makes it appear red.  C.  The box is reflecting red light rays into Tara's eyes.  D.  The box is producing rays of red light which enter Tara's eyes."

C. The box is reflecting red light rays into Tara's eyes.

Explanation:

The process of seeing an object's color comes from its interaction with the incoming light. When the white light hits something, such as the box Tara is seeing, much of the light is absorbed and it becomes hot, the rest of the white light is reflected off. In this case, the reddest part of the spectrum is reflected, which makes Tara see it as red.

With that, we can say that the box is reflecting red light rays in Tara's eyes.
