Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Black objects absorb all colours so no light is reflected.

Black really isn't a color. Its the absence of colour. Colours have the colour they do because the named colour is the light colour that they reflect. In other words a red item reflects red light and absorbs all other colours. A blue coloured item reflects blue and absorbs all other colours except blue. So when an item is said to be black, it reflects no colour: therefore all colours are absorbed.
