The correct option is D Tyndall effect
The earth's atmosphere is a heterogeneous mixture of minute particles like smoke, tiny water droplets, suspended particles of dust, and molecules of air. When a beam of light strikes such fine particles, the path of the beam becomes visible. This phenomenon of scattering of light by such kinds of colloidal particles is called Tyndall effect.
