    E. discrete lines of different colors

    Explanation:

    When light passes through a heated atomic gas and then dispersed through the prism, A line spectrum is obtained always. This happens because when, heated atoms of the gas will be in excited state, these excited state atoms t will emit lights of specific frequency particular to the gas. Thus, a spectra containing lines of discrete colors is obtained on the screen.

    Hence, option E is correct.
