Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Color constancy refers to the ability of the human visual system to perceive colors of objects as relatively constant even under different lighting conditions or when viewed through different color filters. Option B best describes this phenomenon by explaining that the perception of the color of an object remains constant even when viewed through a different color filter (red-tinted glasses in this case).
