Solution
The correct option is D Double refraction
ANicol Prism is a type of polarizer, an optical device used to produce a polarized beam of light. It is made in such a way that it eliminates one of the rays by total internal reflection, i.e. the ordinary rayis eliminated and only the extraordinary ray is transmitted through the prism.So it works on principle of double refraction.
