The black body is a perfect absorber, not an emitter.

So, the answer is A.

Agree, option c is correct.

What is a perfect blackbody?

An ideal body or surface that completely absorbs all radiant energy falling upon it with no reflection and that radiates at all frequencies with a spectral energy distribution dependent on its absolute temperature.

A perfect blackbody is one that absorbs all incoming light and does not reflect any.

So B is the correct answer. Am I right?
