Answer: The correct option is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dispersion is the phenomenon in which there is splitting of the white light into the different colors.

When the white light incidents on the prism then the light rays will get refracted. The white light will get split into the different colors. Light ray gets refracted when it travels from rarer medium to denser medium.

In the given problem, a beam of sunlight falling on a prism refracts and forms seven color bands. It shows that light is made up of seven different colors.
