Photos A and B both show the same field of view containing a star-forming molecular cloud. One of the photos was taken in visible light and the other in infrared light. Which one is the visible-light photo, and how do you know?

A) Photo A is the visible-light photo, and we can tell because dust in the molecular cloud absorbs visible light, making the cloud appear dark. B) Photo A is the visible-light photo because its stars are more colorful. C) Photo B is the visible-light photo because more stars are visible in the molecular cloud. D) Photo B is the visible-light photo because the molecular cloud has a reddish tint.
