a
b
c
choose absorption spectrum
choose emission spectrum
choose continuous spectrum

Explanation:

A continuous spectrum (A) is produced by a hot - blackbody and shows a smooth range of colors. An absorption spectrum (B) is formed when light from a hot source passes through a cooler gas cloud, resulting in dark lines where certain wavelengths are absorbed. An emission spectrum is produced when a gas is excited and emits light at specific wavelengths.

Answer:

A. continuous spectrum
B. absorption spectrum
