Solution

The correct option is B lighter
A metal sheet is opaque and blocks light completely. A tracing paper, on the other hand, is translucent. It partially blocks light. Hence, the shadow formed by a tracing paper is lighter. Since the size of the tracing paper and metal sheet is same, shadow size will be the same for identical lighting conditions.
