Correct Answer: opposite the Sun


Solution : The correct option is opposite the Sun.

A continuous spectrum of light can be seen in the sky as a result of the refraction, internal reflection, and dispersion of light by the water droplets. To allow the sunlight incident on the water droplets to be easily refracted and diffused, a rainbow is always created in the direction opposite to that of the Sun.
