Solution

The correct option is D
I and III

A convex lens converges the refracting ray. Therefore, rays I and III represent the path of the refracting ray from a convex lens(converging lens). As rays II and IV show the refracting ray being diverged, the ray diagrams are incorrect.

Hence, the correct option is D
