A Correct answer
Explanation

A mirror is related to a shadow as it creates a visual representation, but unlike a dark shadow, it reflects all colors. It creates an optical illusion of depth and space while showing the real objects in front of it. Water can reflect, but a mirror is the primary answer for this classic riddle.
