Correct Answer: seen


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

The phrase suggests that due to the swirl of snow over the fields, the visibility was significantly reduced, making it difficult to distinguish the line where the sky and earth appeared to meet. "Seen" fits well in the context, indicating the inability to perceive or observe this line due to the weather conditions described.
