Unpolarized Light with Intensity I₀ Is Incident on a Polarizer $\circ$

Unpolarized light with intensity I₀ is incident on a polarizer as shown.After passing through the first polarizer,the light has intensity I₁.This light passes through a second polarizer that is rotated 45 ^$\circ$ with respect to the first polarizer.The light now with intensity I₂ passes through a third polarizer that is rotated 90 ^$\circ$ with respect to the first polarizer.The intensity of light after the third polarizer is I₃.Pick the one correct statement from the following statements.

A) I₃ = 0
B) I₃ = I₀/8
C) I₃ = I₀/3
D) I₃ = 2I₀
E) I₃ = I₀/2
