What color are holding position markings?

Hold position markings on airfields tell you where to stop before entering or crossing a runway. They are painted in yellow and are usually made retroreflective so they reflect light from aircraft headlights at night or in low-visibility conditions. That’s why the best answer is retroreflective yellow stripes. The other options aren’t correct because white is typically used for other runway markings, and nonreflective versions are less visible at night.
