Solution
The correct option is A Black
Colour is defined as the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light. The key here is the way clothing reflects or emits light because light energy can be converted into heat energy. In other words, the more light energy you absorb the more heat you'll give off.
The blacker an object is, the more wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the object; true black absorbs all wavelengths. The opposite of this is the whiter an object is, the more wavelengths of light that are being reflected. So true white reflects all wavelengths. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not express this condition, hence, incorrect.
