Solution
The correct option is B Sun Objects which do not emit light on their own are called non−luminous objects. Objects that give out or emit light of their own are called as luminousobjects. Sun is a source of light and thus, gives out or emits light of it's own and hence, is a luminous object.
Moon, planets and Earth are non-luminous objects because they do not emit light of their own and glow by reflecting the light of the sun. Hence, the correct answer is OPTION C.
