Below are the choices that can be found in the other sources:

A. diffraction
B. refraction
C. reflection
D. transmission

The answer is diffraction. It means that the process by which a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge, typically accompanied by interference between the wave forms produced.
