Black and white conversions are not permitted. Read all of the Help info provided by Adobe if you want to reduce future rejections:

Image adjustments

Do: Straighten horizon lines where appropriate.

Do: Adjust levels, curves, or brightness/contrast to ensure the best tonal range.

Don’t: Aggressively lighten shadows as this can introduce noise.

Don’t: Convert your image to black & white or duotone. Buyers want the maximum flexibility provided by the full color image.

Do: Reduce noise if necessary—but don't overdo it, as you could create a soft image.

Do: Get to know sharpen tools and use them carefully—too much sharpening can bring out noise and unwanted texture.

You are giving yourself the solution. There is no possibility to get the picture back to colour, but it is easy to turn it black & white.
