Correct Answer: No improvement


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

The original sentence effectively communicates the idea that the sun was shining through the window, and there is no grammatical error or improvement needed in this context. Since the subject sun is singular, it should be followed by the singular verb was in this case, as per subject-verb agreement.

Therefore, the correct choice is no improvement.
