The correct statement is:

White objects reflect all colors of light, and black objects absorb all colors of light.

This means that white objects appear white because they reflect the wavelengths of light across the visible spectrum, while black objects appear black because they absorb most or all of those wavelengths and do not reflect them back to our eyes.
