Solution

The correct option is E polarization.
Light in the form of a plane wave in space is said to be linearly polarized. Light is a transverse electromagnetic wave, but natural light is generally unpolarized, all planes of propagation being equally probable.
The process of making the light wave vibrated in a single plane is known as polarization.
