The correct answer is C because when light reflects off a surface like water, it does so at the same angle at which it hits the surface. This means that the view you see reflected in the water is similar to what you would see if your eyes were located at a point directly beneath you, as far below the water level as you are above it. This point is where the light rays originating from the scenery intersect after reflecting off the water surface, creating the upside-down image.
