Solution

The correct option is D Principle of reversibility

The principle of reversibility of light :-

Path of ray of light is reversible or light traces back it's path while travelling in reverse direction or a ray of light can pass in either direction along the same path

Note the directions of the arrow.

The beam of light travels back on the same path as it was traveling before the refraction and after the refraction after being encountered by the obstacle in the water.
