Which statement best explains a difference between the interaction of light with clear glass and the interaction of light with silver metal?

Clear glass transmits most of the light that reaches it, while silver metal is opaque, so essentially none of the light passes through it. Silver reflects much of the light rather than absorbing all of it. Light also travels more slowly in glass than in air, so choices C and D do not correctly describe the difference.
