The word "iridescent" describes something that exhibits colors that change depending on the angle from which it is viewed or the light that falls upon it. In the context of the sentence, we learn that the seashells were iridescent in the sunlight, implying that they were displaying shimmering, changing colors.
Now let's examine the answer choices:
a. "cloudy" does not match the description of the seashells displaying colors.
b. "drying out" does not match the description of the seashells displaying colors.
c. "breaking into pieces" does not match the description of seashells displaying colors.
d. "shimmering with colors" does match the description of the seashells displaying colors.
Therefore, the correct answer is D, "shimmering with colors", because it best matches the meaning of the word "iridescent" in the sentence.
