Answer:

C: Light travels from the Sun to the grass and is then reflected to your eyes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our eyes don't produce light but detect light (so answer A is not correct)

The grass doesn't produce light unless it is burning (discard answer B)

Answer C is the correct one.

The light we detect from the grass is not light bounced off the sky, it comes directly from the grass to your eyes (you are not looking at the sky when you see the grass) Discard answer D
