C. As light moves through the water and strikes the tang; all colors of light except blue are absorbed.

Explanation:

B. and D. would be independent of the fish, so ALL marine objects would appear blue if those were mechanisms.
A. "absorption" means that the color would not be available/returned for reception by the eye. It would be any color except blue.

C. It is the reflection of only the blue wavelengths of the incident light that cause a blue color to register on our eye receptors. All of the other colors are absorbed, and thus not detectable.
