Solution

The correct option is D White
Scattering of light is the phenomenon in which light rays get deviated from their straight path on striking an obstacle like dust or gas molecules, water vapors, etc. Fine particles scatter light of shorter wavelength and larger particles scatter light of longer wavelength. However, if the size of the scattering particles is large enough, then, the scattered light may even appear white.
