B Correct answer
Explanation

A black hole appears black because its gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. All light that approaches the event horizon gets absorbed into the black hole. This is why we cannot see black holes directly - we can only detect them through their effects on surrounding matter.
