Solution

The correct option is A Blood
Tyndall effect is the phenomenon of scattering of a beam of light by a medium containing small suspended particles.
This effect was first observed ​by faraday later studied in ​detail by Tyndall​.
This effect arises due to scattering of light by colloidal​ particles in all directions . Scattering of light illuminates the path of beam in the colloidal dispersion​.

It is used to distinguish between ​a colloidal and a true solution​.
True solution does not show Tyndall effect but colloidal solution shows​.

Since, blood is a colloid, tyndall effect is observed when a beam of light is passed through it. Hence, option (a) is correct.

Water, copper sulphate and brine are true solution so they does scatter light while passing through it.
