Correct Answer
C
Explanation
The formation of a mirage is primarily explained by the phenomenon of refraction. When light passes through air layers of different temperatures, it undergoes refraction, causing the apparent displacement of the objects being viewed. While reflection and diffraction can play a role in certain optical phenomena, they are not the primary explanations for the formation of a mirage.
