Solution
The correct option is A
Oiled paper
Explanation
A translucent body is one that permits just a small amount of light to pass through it when it is incident on its surface. Take, for instance, oiled paper.
Opaque objects are those that do not allow light to flow through. Wood and brick, for example.
Transparent items allow light to travel through them, allowing us to see clearly through them. Take, for instance, air.
