Solution

The correct option is B Sun
Objects which do not emit light on their own are called nonluminous objects.
Objects that give out or emit light of their own are called as luminous objects.
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.
