Only very small amounts of infrared and ultraviolet light can penetrate all the way to the ground. Based on the diagram, which statement is true?
A) A small percentage of the incoming light at every infrared and ultraviolet wavelength reaches the ground, while the remaining light at the same wavelengths does not reach the ground.
B) Most infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths do not reach the ground at all; the only wavelengths that do are the ones closest to the visible portion of the spectrum.
C) Most infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths do not reach the ground at all; the only wavelengths that do are the ones closest to the radio and x-ray portions of the spectrum.
