Answer 1

The correct option is A By dispersion of sunlight through water droplets present in the atmosphere

$Answer:-$ A

A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.
