Fill in the blank from the options given :
We see the sun ________ brightly in the morning.
Answer: B
The correct word is shining: We see the sun shining brightly in the morning.
After verbs of perception such as see, hear and watch, the object can be followed by an -ing participle to show an action in progress: we see the sun shining. Brightly describes the shining, so shining fits both the grammar and the sense.
Setting is grammatical but wrong in sense, since the sun sets in the evening, not the morning. Have shone and have shown are finite verb forms that cannot follow 'see the sun', and shown is the participle of show, not of shine.
