Which one is it?

The correct answer is A) light reaching the tree

Explanation:

In a forest, there are lots of trees and they are all competing for sunlight so they are forced to focus all their energy on growing taller so they don't get stuck in the shadow of another tree, however, the trees that grow in a large, open area have little to no competition for sunlight, so they can relax and spread out their branches because there's lots of room.
