Detailed Solution

  • 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.
