Solution

The correct option is C Scattering
In the forest, mist contains tiny droplets of water which act as particles of colloid dispersed in air. When the sunlight enters the dense forest, the rays of light pass through these particles of colloids and get scattered. Due to the scattering of light, the path of the sun ray is clearly visible.
