Answer 2

Correct answer choice is :

B) Diffraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diffraction applies to several aspects that happen when a wave meets a barrier or a split. It is described as the bending of waves about the corners of a barrier or opening into the area of the geometrical obscuration of the barrier. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings. The amount of diffraction raises with rising wavelength.
