Explanation:

• For black: When an object absorbs all visible light (all colors), no light is reflected to our eyes, so it appears black.
• For white: When an object reflects all visible light (all colors), the combination of all reflected colors appears white to our eyes.
• For red: When an object reflects red light and absorbs other colors (like blue, green, etc.), only red light is reflected to our eyes, so it appears red.

Answer:

• black: absorbs all colors
• white: reflects all colors
