I think it should be B) Light Green. It's still somewhat positive.

Definitely A) Yellow. No info means no certainty!

I might be mixing things up, but I think "Yellow" is the right choice since it reflects a lack of clarity on the project's benefits.

I feel like "Medium Green" is for projects that have a clearer positive impact, so it can't be that one.

I practiced a similar question where "Light Green" was used for projects with some positive impact, but not enough info to be certain.

I think I remember that "Yellow" indicates uncertainty about the environmental benefits, but I'm not completely sure.
