Solution

The correct option is B Light from a source of light is reflected by the non-luminous object and falls on our eyes

We only see when there is light coming from the objects and falling in our eyes. Not all objects can produce light of their own, some reflect light falling on them. When light falls on an object it is reflected by the surface, the reflected light then enters our eyes. That is how we see non-luminous objects around us.
