Answer:

Option C, The first line of a paragraph starts farther to the left than the lines below it.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a hanging indent (which is opposite of the normal paragraph), the first line of the paragraph is lined up with the left margin while the lines below the first line will indent one-half inch from the left margin.

Hence, option C is correct
