Solution

The correct option is C the reflected beam is completely polarized and the refracted beam is partially polarized and are at right angles to each other
An unpolarized light beam is incident on a surface at an angle of incidence equal to Brewster's angle. Then, the reflected beam used to polarized completely and the refracted beam used to be polarized partially. Also, both these beams used to be at right angle to each other.
Hence, correct option is (C)
