The correct answer is B, as the phenomenon by which light appears to reflect off a layer of water in the distance is called mirage.

A mirage is an optical illusion in which distant objects appear reflected on a smooth surface, so it could be seen a liquid surface that, in reality, does not exist.

It occurs when the Sun's rays encounter a warmer layer of air than the overlying layers where the colder air is of higher density. Thus the light rays undergo a total reflection and it is possible to see the images as if they were really reflected on the ground.

Light appearing to reflect off a layer of water in the distance would constitute a "mirage," since this is a "fake" image that is not actually taking place, but instead is an illusion.

Do you think the supreme court should have a police force with the power to enforce its decisions
egoroff_w [7]
No, the Supreme Court should not have a police force with the power to enforce its decisions. This is for a couple of reasons: with the Supreme Court being the highest court and one of the three branches of government, it already has a large amount of power and does not need more, there are jobs such as parole officers to look over the actions of criminals after court and the police force is sufficient enough to tackle any problems as many problems as it can with criminality.
