B. reflective - The light falling on the lush carpet produced a spendiferous glow.
C. magnificent, fine - The sunrise this morning was splendiferous.

Both answer choices A and B have the word "reflective" in them. Is a reflection beautiful? It can be, but think of the way the author uses the word "reflective." Is it in a beautiful/splendid way?
