- D.
The process of combining any two or more objects
Correct Answer
A. The color “space” or document type which is based on the absorption and reflection of lightExplanation
CMYK stands for the color "space" or document type which is based on the absorption and reflection of light. This color model is used in printing and refers to the four ink colors used: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black). By combining different percentages of these colors, a wide range of colors can be achieved. Unlike RGB, which is an additive color model used for electronic displays, CMYK is a subtractive color model where the colors are subtracted from white light to create the desired color. This is why CMYK is commonly used in printing, as it accurately represents the absorption and reflection of light on paper.Rate this question:
