Solution

The correct option is C shadow
Shadow is a relatively darker area produced when an opaque or translucent object comes in between the source of light and the surface. Transparent objects do not form shadow as they let light to pass through them. Since football is an opaque object, it will not allow the sunlight to pass through it.
