  • A.Car door reflecting mirrors
  • B.The light a cat's eyes gave off on a fence
  • C.Sun light on steel posts on road sides
  • D.The sun light on the windshield

Answer: B

It was the light a cat's eyes gave off on a fence.

Percy Shaw, driving on a foggy road in Yorkshire in 1933, saw his headlamps reflected in a cat's eyes and was saved from going off the road. He patented the reflecting road stud - still called cat's eyes - the next year.
