Solution

The correct option is B

False


The white jersey and yellow jersey both appear yellow in yellow light because both white and yellow surfaces can reflect yellow light. Both black shorts and blue shorts absorb yellow light, so they appear in black and dark respectively. Hence we cannot distinguish the teams based on the colour of their dress.
