Solution

The correct option is C Shadow is formed when an opaque object comes in the path of light.
A shadow is formed when light is blocked by an opaque or translucent object. Opaque objects, such as a tree, completely block light and form a dark shadow. Transparent objects, such as glass, do not create a shadow because the light completely passes through them.
