Answer: B. Refraction of light

Answer: (B) Refraction of light

Air near the earth is denser than the air above it, so light from the sun bends as it passes through these layers and reaches our eyes even when the sun is slightly below the horizon. This atmospheric refraction makes the sun appear higher than its true position.
