Solution

The correct option is A Total internal reflation
Glittering of diamond is due to internal reflection.
When light falls on the diamond it refracts inside and travels through the lattice. Total internal reflection occurs at various angles and finally the light refracts out. And thus causes brilliance of a diamond.
Hence the correct option is (C).
