Select the most appropriate option to fill in blank no. 5.

The correct answer is breaks into.

Let us analyze the sentence structure step-by-step to understand why this option is correct:
1. Identify the Subject: The subject of the sentence is "religion" (specifically: "And religion..."). "Religion" is a singular noun.
2. Subject-Verb Agreement: Since the subject is singular, it requires a singular verb form that ends in "-s" or "-es" in the simple present tense. Therefore, we must choose "breaks" instead of the plural form "break". This eliminates "break into" and "break from".
3. Context and Phrasal Verb Meaning: We are left to choose between "breaks to" and "breaks into". The sentence draws an analogy between religion and white light passing through a prism. To "break into" means to split, divide, or separate into different parts or categories (e.g., light breaking into a spectrum of colors). In this context, religion is divided or split into "multi-coloured fragmentations by the prisms of men". The preposition "to" does not fit this meaning of separation or fragmentation.
Therefore, the phrasal verb "breaks into" is the grammatically correct and contextually appropriate choice.
