Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect A blackbody refers to an opaque object that emits thermal radiation. A perfect blackbody is one that absorbs all incoming light and does not reflect any. At room temperature, such an object would appear to be perfectly black. A hollow metallic closed container maintained at a uniform temperature can act as a source of a black body radiation because it will absorb all incoming light, but won't emit any out of it. However not all metals will act as a black body.
