What are primary colours?

  1. Colours mixed from two secondary colours

  2. The lightest colours on the colour wheel

  3. Pure fundamental colours that cannot be created by combining other colours

  4. Shades of black and white

The correct answer is: Pure fundamental colours that cannot be created by combining other colours

Primary colours are pure fundamental colours that cannot be created by combining other colours. This means that they exist on their own and cannot be created by any other combination of colours. Option A is incorrect because it describes secondary colours, which are created by mixing two primary colours. Option B and D are incorrect as they do not describe the defining characteristic of primary colours, which is their pure and fundamental nature.
