d-d transitions
B
s-p transitions
C
p-d transitions

f-f transitions
correct option: a
The absorption of light by transition metal compounds often involves the excitation of electrons from one d orbital to another within the partially filled d subshell, resulting in d-d transitions and the display of vibrant colours.
