Complete step-by-step answer:
The word shallow refers to the not deep or very less depth of any object.
Option A is High is an incorrect option because high is used to denote the vertical horizon size of any object. The similar words of high can be tall, elevated and usually used to refer to the height of any object, hills etc.
Option B is hidden is an incorrect option because it stands for something which is not visible to the eyes or something human eyes cannot see. It can be used as an adjective but cannot be used as an opposite of shallow because two of them have no relation.
Option C is Deep is a correct option for the opposite meaning of SHALLOW because deep is an adjective used to denote the depth of the object like river, sea or bowl etc. It is often used to denote the depth of water, bowl, river or sea. It can be seen written on the signboards near the river or sea with caution that you are advised not to go far in water as the sea is deep.
Option D is hollow is an incorrect option because hollow means empty inside.
Option C Deep is the correct answer.
