Solution

The correct options are
C
Prism

D
Water droplets suspended in the sky

Separation of white light occurs when the constituent colours of white light are bent at different angles. This is observed in a prism. The water droplets suspended in the sky can act like a prism and refract the light at different angles. This is responsible for rainbow formation.
