Answer:

The answer is C. Metallic and Non-metallic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Luster is a physical property that shows how light acts on the surface of a material and how it is reflected in it. The main types of brightness are:

  • Metallic shine = This type of shine occurs in metals, since they are very opaque and whose surface has a lustrous appearance, that is, it totally reflects light.
  • Non-metallic shine = This type of shine is presented in minerals with a light color, produced by transparent substances, such as the diamond.
