Solution

The correct option is B 4
When light travels from rarer medium to denser medium it bend towards the normal as it changes direction this process is known as refraction . Angle of refraction is measured from the normal (drawn at the interface of the two mediums) to the refracted ray.
Therefore option D is correct.
