Solution

The correct option is C Transparent
For a shadow to be formed, light should be obstructed by the object. Since transparent objects allow light to pass through them, they cannot form a shadow.
Translucent objects allow light to pass through them partially, while opaque objects do not allow light completely. Therefore, translucent and opaque objects can cast a shadow. All metallic objects are simply opaque in nature.
