Solution

The correct option is B

False


In order to emit light, the object must have its own source of energy. A torch shines because of the chemical energy stored in its batteries, whereas all stars shine using energy created by nuclear fusion. Sun also emits light as a result of the fusion of Hydrogen atoms. We are able to see the luminous object because light emitted from them reaches our eyes. Hence they are considered as Luminous objects.
