CMYK is known as what?

• A. Red, Green, Blue
• B. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black
• C. Cyan, Blue, Yellow, Orange
• D. Magenta, Yellow, Black, Cyan

Answer: (B)

CMYK refers to the four inks used in color printing: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. This subtractive color model works by printing these colors on white paper to create a wide range of hues, since adding inks removes (subtracts) light rather than adding it, unlike light-based displays. The option that lists Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black matches the actual components of CMYK, making it the correct choice. The other options describe a different system (Red, Green, Blue for RGB) or include nonstandard color names, and one option repeats the same four inks in a different order; while it contains the same inks, the conventional naming is Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black.
