4x is blue, 10x is white, 40x is red, and 100x is yellow
4x is white, 10x is blue, 40x is yellow, and 100x is red

Explanation:

In microscope objective lens color coding, the standard (or common) color bands for objectives are: 4X (scanning) is typically blue, 10X (low - power) is white, 40X (high - power) is yellow, and 100X (oil immersion) is red. By comparing with the given options, the second option (4X is BLUE, 10X is WHITE, 40X is YELLOW, and 100X is RED) matches this standard.

Answer:

4X is BLUE, 10X is WHITE, 40X is YELLOW, and 100X is RED
