You are asked to ascertain the colors of the balls contained in each box.

A) You can take out one ball from the box marked with two black balls and, without looking at the second ball, know what each box actually contains.
B) You can take out one ball from the box marked with two white balls and, without looking at the second ball, know what each box actually contains.
C) You can take out one ball from the box marked with one white ball and one black ball and, without looking at the second ball, know what each box contains.
D) You cannot know which balls are contained in which box until you take a ball out of more than one box.
E) You cannot know which boxes contain which color balls until you take a ball out of all three boxes.
