A Correct answer
Explanation

In a rainbow with the traditional seven-color sequence (ROYGBIV), violet is on the inside of the arc and red is on the outside. This happens because violet light is bent more than red light as it passes through raindrops. Green and indigo are intermediate colors, with indigo between blue and violet.
