Concept: A subject is the main topic of the sentence. The predicate describes more about the main topic or the subject. It gives information about the subject part.
The noun around which the given sentence revolves is dewdrops. So, it's the subject and therefore the remainder of the sentence is the predicate.
Option ‘A’, is wrong because the sentence given within the question talks about the dewdrops, making it the subject, not the sunshine.
Option ‘B’, is wrong because the dewdrops are the subject and not the predicate.
Option C is correct as dewdrops are the subject and the other part is the predicate.
Option ‘D’, is inaccurate as in this option ‘glitter’ is also part of the subject, so it can not be the right option.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
