Which statement describes streak?

Streak is the color of a mineral in powdered form. You test it by rubbing or scraping the mineral across an unglazed porcelain streak plate and observing the powder it leaves behind. Therefore, the statement that streak is tested on a streak plate is correct; streak is not the way light reflects from a mineral, and its color may differ from the mineral’s visible color.
