Correct Answer: Land covered with fresh snow


Solution : The correct answer is Land covered with fresh snow.

Fresh snow and eyes both exhibit high reflectivity, bouncing back a significant portion of the incident light. Snow retains its coldness because it doesn't absorb light, instead, it reflects sunlight. This principle hinges on the phenomenon of light reflection, where light striking a smooth, polished surface is redirected or rebounded from that surface.
