(c) violet and blue lights get scattered more than lights of all other colors by the atmosphere
(d) light of all other colors is scattered more than the violet and blue color lights by the atmosphere

Solution: Answer is (c) violet and blue lights get scattered more than lights of all other colors by the atmosphere.

Rayleigh’s scattering of sunlight is responsible for the blue appearance of the clear sky. The molecules in the air scatter more blue light from the sun than red light, which means that blue light is more visible.
