The large sugar crystals found in rock candy are essentially clear. However granulated sugar looks white because
A. small sugar grains can absorb black light, leaving only white light to be reflected.
B. some light is reflected whenever light moves from a sugar granule to air or vice versa. The randomly oriented granules reflect light in all directions.
C. small sugar grains are more dense than large sugar crystals, and they fluoresce white light when exposed to infrared radiation.
D. small sugar grains are metallic and act as mirrors, scattering light in all directions.
