When green light is incident on the surface of a metal, it emits photo-electrons, but there is no such emission with yellow light. Which one of the following colours can produce emission of photo-electrons?

Monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda = 4770 \ \mathring{A}$ is incident separately on the surface of four different metals $A, B, C$ and $D$. The work functions of $A, B, C$ and $D$ are $4.2 \ \text{eV}, 3.7 \ \text{eV}, 3.2 \ \text{eV}$ and $2.3 \ \text{eV}$, respectively. From which of these metals will electrons be emitted?
