Solution

The correct option is A True
A transparent object such as a glass or a cellophane sheet allows the light of certain colours to pass and blocks other colours by absorbing them.
Such objects are termed as colour filters and this process is termed as subtraction of colours.
For example; a green cellophane sheet allows only green light to pass through it.
Rest all colours are absorbed or blocked from passing.
Thus, the given statement is true.
