Solution

The correct option is C
Light from a light source is reflected by the object and when these fall on our eyes we see the object

We only see when there is light coming from an object 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 towards us and that is how we see the object.
