MUHAMMAD YASEEN:
Why D is correct: In this sentence, the word "light" is an uncountable abstract noun used in a general sense. In English grammar, zero article (no article) is required before general, uncountable nouns when stating a universal truth or fact. The complete, correct sentence is: "Light comes from the sun."

In this question "the" is used with light, because the sun makes light specific/definite.
