A

The audience watching the shadow

B

The floor of the theater

C

The shadow cast on the floor

D

The theater itself

Understanding the Answer

Let's break down why this is correct

In a shadow theater the light from A hits B and the blocked light makes a shadow on the floor. Other options are incorrect because The audience watches the outcome but does not create the shadow; The floor receives the shadow; it is not what casts it.

Solar and lunar eclipses occur due to the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, leading to shadows being cast on either the Earth or the Moon. The phenomenon is a result of the Moon's orbit being tilted with respect to Earth's orbit, causing occasional alignments that result in eclipses.
