Answer:

c. absorbs all the energy that strikes it.

Step-by-step explanation:

An ideal black body is an object that absorbs every light energy (irrespective of the wavelength and direction) that strikes it without reflecting any in return.

Such objects or bodies usually appear perfectly black and will only emit radiation when heated to a very high temperature.
