Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. A light ray traveling obliquely from a denser medium like water to a rarer medium like air will always move away from normal.
  2. It is due to the refraction of the light ray passing from denser (water) medium to rarer (air) medium.

Hence, the given statement is true.
