Solution

The correct option is D kaleidoscope
A kaleidoscope contains several mirrors placed at an angle to each other, usually 60 degrees. This allows multiple reflections to be created of the objects inside the kaleidoscope. The incident ray enters the cardboard tube and strikes the mirror placed at an angle. This ray undergoes multiple reflections and finally strikes the eyepiece where the observer is able to see a pattern.
