  Sounds like a homework or test question . . .
:-)

Cyan, Magenta and Yellow.
AFIK (not 100% certain) this applies to "R" type printing direct from color transparency in addition to "C" type printing from color negative, as I believe the print developing process is reversal, just as the film was.

BTW, these are the negative colors of:
Red, Green and Blue respectively.
