Explanation
Even though this sentence is short, its tough vocabulary makes it tricky. It is clear enough from the word dazzling that you’re looking for a word that means “brightness” or “brilliance.”
Refulgence and radiance are best; none of the other words match this meaning.
Hence options refulgence, radiance are best fit!
