I think Ahana can help you with it though.

The colour observed is the opposite to the colour absorbed in the complementary colour wheel

first part: the colour absorbed is blue-ish/violet - so the colour observed (opposite in the colour wheel) is orange-ish/red so answer is RED

second part: the colour absorbed is yellowish/red/orange - so colour observed would be BLUE

It's a bit confusing but yeah, I hope that helps.

how do you read from the graph to know what colour is absorbed?
do we need to look only at the peak levels?
from C, the peak is around 460nm and D would be around 620nm?

The color that the compound has is the color it emits....so the absorption of that color(frequency of color) would be low.

In C, absorption is low at abt 650nm, hence it emits red color
In D, absorption is low close to 450 nm, hence it emits blue color

Check the ppt attached for better understanding of how to read graphs

Ah yes, that's the other way to look at and probably the easier one.
