Fog lights and low-beam headlights are permitted in daylight under specific conditions where visibility is significantly impaired. The correct answer indicates that both fog and snowfall qualify as conditions that warrant the use of these lights.

When driving in fog, the light from standard high-beam headlights can be reflected back by the fog, creating glare and reducing visibility further. Fog lights are designed to cast a wide and low beam, illuminating the road immediately in front of the vehicle without being reflected by the fog. This enhances visibility for the driver.

Snowfall presents a similar challenge; the falling snow can obscure visibility. While snow can reflect light back towards the driver when using high beams, utilizing low-beam headlights or fog lights helps maintain better visibility without the detrimental glare.

In addition, reducing visibility during rain can also justify the use of low-beam headlights to increase visibility on the road for the driver and for others. However, fog lights have specific legal contexts and are less commonly used in rain compared to fog and snow.

Choosing the option that includes both fog and snowfall acknowledges the importance of maintaining a clear line of sight for safety in adverse weather conditions. Therefore, both scenarios mentioned support the rationale for utilizing fog lights and low-beam headlights during the day.
