Solution

The correct option is A

light is least scattered


  1. At noon the sun is overhead.
  2. When it is overhead, it has lesser air to travel through.
  3. Due to this the scattering of light from dust and other particles is reduced.
  4. Most of the components in white light reach our eyes.
  5. Therefore at noon sun appears white.

Hence, option (a) is correct.
