A
17
💡 Explanation:
Suppose you draw 10 gloves and they happen to be all white. Now, you draw out 6 gloves and they all happen to be black in colour but of the same hand. Now, you need to draw one more glove to ensure that you get a black glove of the other hand and hence, a black pair of gloves. Hence, you need to draw 17 gloves in total.
