Solution

The correct option is C only one colour
Monochromatic light refers to light of a single wavelength, i.e constitutes only one colour.
White light has wavelength ranging from 400 nm to 700 nm and contains different colours in it. Hence, white light is not monochromatic but polychromatic instead.
