Answer 1

The correct option is B 1 and 3

When a ray of light falls on any object (a polished, smooth, shiny object), the light bounces back from it and reaches our eyes. This is known as ’reflection’ or ’reflection of light’. This phenomenon enables us to see the world around us.
Without reflection of light, objects around us are not visible to us.
