Answer

Correct option: B.
Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
Just after the rain, a large number of small droplets of water remain suspended in the air. Each drop acts like a small prism. When sunlight falls on these drops, the white light splits into seven colours. The dispersed light from a large number of drops forms a continuous band of seven colours.
