The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The splitting of white light into its constituent colors (VIBGYOR - Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red) is called dispersion. This phenomenon occurs when white light passes through a prism or other refractive medium, causing different wavelengths of light to bend at slightly different angles.
