    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    The category of primary colors consists of three colors. Primary colors are a set of colors that cannot be created by mixing other colors together. They are considered the building blocks for all other colors. In traditional color theory, the three primary colors are red, blue, and yellow. These colors can be mixed together in various combinations to create all other colors on the color wheel. Therefore, the correct answer is 3.

    • Mixture of primary colors

    Correct Answer
    A. Mixture of primary colors
    Explanation
    Secondary colors are formed by mixing two primary colors together. In the color wheel, primary colors are red, blue, and yellow. When these primary colors are combined, they create secondary colors such as orange (red + yellow), green (blue + yellow), and purple (red + blue). Therefore, the correct answer is "mixture of primary colors."

    A. Yellow, blue, red
    Explanation
    The primary colors are the basic colors that cannot be created by mixing other colors. They are the building blocks for all other colors. In the subtractive color model used in painting and printing, the primary colors are yellow, blue, and red. By mixing these three colors in various combinations, all other colors can be created. Therefore, the answer choice "yellow, blue, red" is correct.
