A Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase 'black sheep' refers to a person who is considered an outcast or disgrace to their family or group. In sheep, a black lamb was historically seen as undesirable because white wool was more valuable, making the black sheep the odd one out. It doesn't mean unique, most loved, or lucky.
