[A] Light is least scattered. All we know that the Sun is directly over the head and sunlight travel relatively shorter distance causing only little of the blue and violet colours to be scattered.

[B] Refraction of light by different layers of varying refractive indices We must know that air have different layers which act as varying refractive indices and when light enters by different layers of the apparent position of source of light keeps on changing. It happens due to refraction of lightRead more
[B] Refraction of light by different layers of varying refractive indices
We must know that air have different layers which act as varying refractive indices and when light enters by different layers of the apparent position of source of light keeps on changing. It happens due to refraction of light. So, stars appear to twinkle.
[B] Scattering of light Red colour scatters the least so that it travels the farthest. During sunset or sunrise, light has to travel a longer distance to reach us. The sky appears reddish as when only red light reaches to us. Hence, you should go with the option [B].
