Solution

The correct option is B a, b and d are correct
when a beam of unpolarized light is incident on the glass block, certain amount of the incident vibration is reflected in a plane perpendicular to the plane of incidence and transmits the rest.
Thus reflected ray is completely polarized but not partially polarized.
Thus only (c) is wrong and rest options are correct.
