To determine which situation is most likely to result in light reflection, let's consider the properties of the materials in each situation:

A) When light travels through outer space, there is no medium (such as air or water) for the light to interact with, so reflection is unlikely in this scenario.

B) When light strikes a dark-colored object, it is more likely to be absorbed rather than reflected. Darker objects tend to have higher absorption rates for light.

C) When light strikes a shiny object, such as a mirror or polished metal surface, reflection is most likely to occur. Shiny objects have smooth surfaces that allow light to bounce off them.

D) When light travels through water and then through air, it undergoes a phenomenon called refraction, where the light bends as it crosses the boundary between two different mediums. Although some light may be refracted, there can also be partial reflection at this boundary.

Based on these considerations, the situation that is most likely to result in light reflection is C) When it strikes a shiny object.
