Question

what label should be used for this part of the image?
highlight
cast shadow
reflected light

Explanation:

To determine the correct label, we analyze each option:

• "Highlight" refers to the brightest part of an object due to direct light, which matches the marked area on the white sphere.
• "Cast shadow" is a shadow an object projects onto another surface (like the ball’s shadow on the table), not the bright spot on the ball.
• "Reflected light" is light bouncing from another surface, but the marked area is the direct bright spot (highlight) from the light source, not reflected from elsewhere.

So the correct label is "highlight".

Answer:

A. highlight
