In simple terms, chlorophyll makes a leaf look green because it reflects only green light. Answering in a more detailed fashion, chlorophyll is a pigment. As a pigment it absorbs some wavelengths of visible light, (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet are the colors of visible light), while reflecting others. In specific, chlorophyll absorbs all other colors of light but green, which it reflects. It is this reflection of green light that cause a leaf to appear green.

NeX [460]
The answer is most likely 4 but I think you need a table or a marked hygrometer to work this out. You can't really work out humidity by the given temperatures. All you can know for sure is that there is a strong chance of rain because dew point is only 1 degree away. (I think what they want you to do is 29/30 x100)
