Solution
The correct option is C1 only
The sun is red during sunrise and sunset due to less scattering of red light.
Due to the lack of atmosphere on the moon, refraction does not occur. Therefore stars don't seem to twinkle.
Similarly, due to the lack of atmospheric particles, the light does not scatter on the moon and thus the sky appears black.
