Answer
The correct image shows the shadow on the side away from the Sun.

Explanation

  • A shadow forms on the side opposite the light source.
  • The Sun's light is blocked by the boy's body.
  • So the shadow falls away from the Sun.
  • The image with the shadow opposite the Sun is correct.
The shadow always falls on the side away from the light.
