The correct choice is: "The mirror allows the light to be reflected so the objects behind the car can be seen."

Explanation: A rearview mirror is a reflective (usually plane) surface that redirects light from objects behind the vehicle into the driver's eyes, forming a virtual image. The other options describe absorption, interference, or transmission, which are not the primary function of a rearview mirror.
