I felt the wall of the tunnel shiver. The master alarm squealed through my earphones. Almost simultaneously, Jack yelled down to me that there was a warning light on. Fleeting but spectacular sights snapped into ans out of view, the snow, the shower of debris, the moon, looming close and big, the dazzling sunshine for once unfiltered by layers of air. The last twelve hours before re-entry were particular bone-chilling. During this period, I had to go up in to command module. Even after the fiery re-entry splashing down in 81o water in south pacific, we could still see our frosty breath inside the command module.

As per my view, the question is asking meaning for "for once unfiltered by layers of air" which do not signifies that the sun was very hot no doubt that dazzling means hot but the phrase in quotes does not signify it hence answer is D.

For a moment even I thought option A was correct but if we read the above sentence it does not make any sense with the options given.
So option D is correct.

Here, The passage is about outer space.
By that sense, the astronauts were exposed to sunlight which is direct rather than the filtered manner, humans receive on Earth due to the presence of atmospheric layers.

Option D is correct one.
The dazzling sunshine was "for once unfiltered by layers of air". In space there is no atmosphere or no air present around the spacecraft. Hence sunshine is unfiltered by the layers of air!

Catastrophe was imminent so we all know the phrase that "Water of sea remains silent before a coming storm". We can relate this phrase to the question. Means a storm or any kind of destruction is about to come.

Dazzling - extremely bright, especially so as to blind the eyes temporarily. The air for once unfiltered by layers of air, was like dazzling sunshine. So, I think none of the given option is right.

I think D is correct because "unfiltered by layers of air" means that it is earth is covered by atmosphere which again a mixture of layers so I guess its finally "D".
Correct me if I'm wrong!

It means that the astronauts were protected by the module or their spacesuits and no longer on the Earth for its atmosphere to filter the sunlight, to make it safe for the living things.

Unfiltered refers to the place lacked an atmosphere, thus made the astronauts vulnerable to the harmful effects of the UV and other radiations, making the sun appear much hotter.

The unfiltered air means so far that.
The sunshine comes along with UV. In earth, we see the protected sunshine with the ozone layer. In space, we cannot. So, the answer is D.
