Color bands are a visual indicator of the power of each objective, what are they?
A
4X is BLUE, 10X is WHITE, 40X is RED, and 100X is YELLOW
B
4X is WHITE, 10X is BLUE, 40X is YELLOW, and 100X is RED
C
4X is RED, 10X is YELLOW, 40X is BLUE, and 100X is WHITE
D
4X is BLUE, 10X is WHITE, 40X is YELLOW, and 100X is RED
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Red Stripe (4x) The red stripe is located on the scanning lens. A scanning lens has its name because it’s low magnification, usually providing 4x magnification. These lenses get their name from the idea that you can ‘scan’ your specimen from a relatively zoomed-out position.

Detailed explanation-2: -The standard magnification bands are as follows: red band = 5x, yellow = 10x, green = 20x, blue = 40-60x, white = 100x. Thus, if a lens has a green and yellow band, the magnification would be 30x.
