The statements are either correct or incorrect. The answers and reasons to the given questions are given below:

(A) The statement: Shadows are formed when light is stopped by an object is correct. Light travels in a straight line and when an opaque object comes in its path it gets stopped and then the shadow is formed.

(B) The statement: An object forms shadow on the opposite side to the source of light is correct because when the path of the light is blocked by an object and it casts its shadow in the opposite direction.

(C) The statement: The sunlight also forms the shadow of the objects which are on the ground or near the ground is correct. It can be proved using everyday life examples. If a person is standing on the ground, his or her shadow will be formed on the ground as the sun is the biggest source of light and a person is an opaque object.

(D) The statement: Our shadow is the shortest before the candle at night is incorrect. You can easily perform this experiment by keeping a photo near a candle and seeing whether the shadow formed is shorter or larger than the actual object.
