Solution

The correct option is D Prism
Two coherent sources are produced in Lloyd's mirror by reflection of light from a plane mirror, hence the original source and its image acting as coherent sources.
In fresnel biprism, light from a point source gets refracted by a biprism to produce two coherent sources.
In Young's double slit, two coherent sources are produced by passing of light from a single source through two slits.
