Solution

The correct option is A
Light rays bend away the normal while moving from a rarer to a denser medium and vice-versa.
Since, the angle of incidence (∠i=30°) is more than the angle of refraction (∠r), from the figure, we can infer that the medium 1 is rarer and the medium 2 is denser, as the light ray moves away from the normal after refraction.
