An unpolarized light beam of intensity $I_0$ is incident on a polarizer $A$ and then passed through a second polarizer $B$. If the principal plane of polarizer $B$ makes an angle of $45^\circ$ with respect to polarizer $A$,the intensity of the emerging light will be ........

  • A
    $I_0/8$
  • B
    $I_0$
  • C
    $I_0/2$
  • D
    $I_0/4$
