Which risk increases when vertically polarized light encounters roadway reflection?

A)Significant glare for vehicle operators
B)Improved visibility of lane markings
C)Reduced interference from scattered light
D)Enhanced color contrast perception

💡 Explanation

Roadways often generate horizontally polarized reflected light; vertical polarization filtering will suppress other glare, but amplifies glare stemming from headlamps. This is because **Brewster's angle** maximizes reflection for polarized light, therefore glare increases, rather than reducing glare components under different conditions.
