Answer: The correct answer is option(d).

Step-by-step explanation:

The light given by the combination of the all the seven colors is white color.

Generally white light splits into the band of seven colors when passed through the prism which is known as spectrum.

When the Anna shines a beam of light that includes all the wavelengths of visible light onto the wall she will observe the white light on the wall of the darken room.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
