{'chlorophyll': [5, 0, 1, 4], 'indigo': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'violet': [2, 1, 3, 3], 'blue': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'red': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'light': [16, 4, 34, 62], 'components': [1, 1, 3, 6]}

Option 1: Violet and red light are absorbed by chlorophyll. This means that chlorophyll molecules are able to capture and use energy from these specific wavelengths of light.

Option 2: Indigo and orange light are not mentioned as being absorbed by chlorophyll, so this option is incorrect.

Option 3: Blue and red light are not specifically mentioned as being absorbed by chlorophyll, so this option is incorrect.

Option 4: Violet and yellow light are not mentioned as being absorbed by chlorophyll, so this option is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1: Violet and red light are absorbed by chlorophyll.
