Rain is falling vertically. A man running on the road keeps his umbrella tilted but a man standing on the street keeps his umbrella vertical to protect himself from the rain. But both of them keep their umbrella vertical to avoid the vertical sun-rays. Explain.

A

The speed of light is much higher than the speed of rain drops.

B

The speed of light is much higher than the speed of man.

C

Actually, the angle of tilt of umbrela in sun-light is very small in comparison to the angle of tilt of umbrella in rain.

D

light is behaving as a wave, not as a particle here.
