Correct Answer

Explanation

The observation that cannot be explained using the rectilinear propagation of light is the phenomenon of diffraction. When light encounters an obstacle or aperture, it bends around the edges, creating a pattern of light and dark fringes. This behavior of light cannot be explained solely by the rectilinear propagation of light, which assumes that light travels in straight lines.
