Solution

The correct option is D Newton's disc
A Newton disc is a circular disc with seven segments and contains seven different colours (VIBGYOR). When rotated at high speed, it appears white. It happens because at high speed of rotation the colour of a portion in a region changes very fast and we see the combination of colours.
