Solution
An attributive adjective is placed right before the noun/noun phrase it modifies. Consider: A silver bracelet; 'silver' is an attributive adjective that is placed before the noun 'bracelet' it modifies.
A predicative adjective is placed after the noun, but not immediately after it; it is connected to a linking verb that is placed after that noun, for example, 'I am tall', where 'tall' is the adjective that is used predicatively and is placed after the linking verb, 'am'.
The underlined word is an attributive adjective, "bright" is placed before the noun "light"; it describes the quality of the noun "light".
Hence the statement is false, option B is correct and A is incorrect.
