    A Diffraction of light Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Reflection of light Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Interference of light Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Polarisation of light Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Diffraction occurs when light bends around small objects or through narrow openings. Examples include: compact discs, holograms, light entering a dark room through a small opening, crepuscular rays (sun rays through clouds), X-ray diffraction, water passing through a small gap, solar/lunar corona, and sound waves bending around obstacles.
