The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

A traffic light at an intersection is a public good. Its consumption is neither rival nor excludable. More than one person can use a traffic light at the same time and it will not reduce the consumption of the other person. So we can say its consumption is non-rival in nature.

Its consumption is also non-excludable as you cannot stop a person from using traffic lights.
