Explanation :

The given diagram shows the interaction of the wave. The process is diffraction. It occurs when a ray of light passes through the narrow opening or the obstacles.

The size of opening or obstacle should be comparable to the wavelength of light. After striking at the opening, a diffraction pattern forms which consists of dark, light or colored bands.

Hence, the correct option is (b) " diffraction".
