Solution

The correct option is A True
A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of sunlight from water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky.

See the figure the sunlight is coming from back. The sun is always in the opposite part of the sky from the center of the rainbow. This is because a rainbow is actually just sunlight which has came from backside and has been refracted and reflected and then reached your eyes.
