The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

A surface looks coloured according to the wavelengths it reflects and the others it absorbs.
A white surface reflects nearly all wavelengths, hence the highest fraction of incident light (reflectance about 80-90%).
Black absorbs nearly all light, while red and green reflect only part of the spectrum.
So white reflects the maximum light.
