a. Whitest material
b. Blackest material
c. Radioactive material
d. None of the above

ANSWER: Blackest material
 
This material is so dark that it can absorb nearly all the light hitting it. This super-black material could change the way solar panels are made, by absorbing 99% of the light, making it over 26% darker than carbon nanotubes. Before this, the darkest material known was the latter. The dark material absorbs light at all angles and polarisations.
