Solution
The correct option is C Dispersion
Refraction of light is the phenomenon of bending of light or change in the direction of light when it passes obliquely from one transparent medium to another.
Reflection is the phenomenon in which light rays striking a polished surface (such as a mirror) bounce back or are sent back into the same medium.
Dispersion is the phenomenon of splitting of white light into its component colours (VIBGYOR) on passing through a glass prism.
Hence, the correct answer is OPTION C.
