In the scenario described, where Box A appears black and Box B appears red under a red light, the correct statement is:

Box A absorbs red light, and Box B reflects red light.

Here’s the reasoning: A black object absorbs all light wavelengths, so Box A absorbs the red light. Box B appears red because it reflects red light while absorbing other wavelengths.
