Answer 1

The correct option is B

Same color as the object

The explanation for the correct answer:

Option B: Same color as the object.

1. A shadow is something that is formed by an opaque object blocking the light of a source.
2. It is always black, regardless of the color of the object used to make the shadow.
3. So, the Same color as the object is not exhibited by the shadow of an object.

The explanation for the incorrect option

Option A: Right side up:

In such a way that the upper and lower parts of the shadow are in their usual or principal position and not reversed.

Option C: Can be formed on a screen:

It needs a screen for being formed.

Option D: Can be bigger than the object.

1. It only shows the shape or outline of the object and not the details.
2. The size of a shadow varies depending on the distance between the object and the source of light, and the distance between the object and the screen.

Hence, option B is not exhibited by the shadow of an object.

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
