A
a green light
💡 Explanation:

When an aircraft crosses from your left (port side) to right (starboard side) at a right angle, you are viewing its starboard side. Aircraft navigation lights are red on the port (left) wing and green on the starboard (right) wing, with white at the tail. Therefore, you see the green light on the starboard wing as it crosses from left to right. You would not see red (port side) or white (tail-only visible from behind) in this crossing scenario.
