Answer:

E. Refraction, reflection, and diffraction of light are essential in the formation of a rainbow.

According to the information provided, it is stated that the sun is always at your back when observing a rainbow, and that the time of day can indicate whether a shower is approaching or departing. This suggest that the formation of the rainbow is dependent on the position of the sun and the presence of water droplets in the air, which are refracted, reflected, and diffracted by the light from the sun. It doesn't indicate anything about the color intensity or dimension of the rainbow, nor whether it always occurs at the end of a powerful storm or when the sun is setting.
