Solution

The correct option is C
They are sharp and distinct

A shadow is a region where light from a light source is obstructed by an opaque object.

When there is a single source, the shadow is distinct. When there are multiple sources, there are multiple possible intersections of the umbra and penumbra regions which means that the shadow formed is not a distinct and sharp shadow of the object.
