    linearly polarized along the vertical direction

    Explanation:

    Unpolarized light is an electromagnetic wave that travels oscillating in all directions. The optical filter acts as a grid, if we have a filter that is oriented in the vertical direction, all waves will be blocked except those traveling in the vertical direction, being polarized in this direction.
