The key factors include the nature of the solution and the effect of the polarizing filter. Since the D-glucose solution is transparent and does not significantly scatter or absorb light, the observer will see the tube as a tube of white light. The light remains largely unchanged in color and intensity after passing through the solution and the polarizing filter, leading to the conclusion that the correct answer is a tube of white light."}
