Strangely enough, every one of your answer choice words, if substituted in the sentence, produces a true statement. That's an unusually poorly-written question. The best possible word to complete the sentence is "scattered," since that encompasses all ways in which light reaches our eye aside from direct transmission from the Sun, which means it explains how we see everything other than the Sun itself. Given that...I'm going to guess that the answer that is wanted here is "reflected," because that comes closest in meaning to "scattered."

OpenStudy (ghazi):

basically reflection, then other phenomenon comes to mind, so it is reflection first
