Explanation

text-shadow is the correct CSS3 property for adding shadows to text, accepting values for horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur radius, and color (e.g., text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px #000). Options B (font-shadow) and C (shadow-text) do not exist in CSS - they are plausible-sounding fabrications. Option D (text-effect) is also not a real CSS property, though it sounds like it could belong to the spec.

Memory tip: Think "shadow the text" → the noun comes first, giving you text-shadow, the same naming pattern as text-decoration and text-transform - CSS text properties always start with text-.
