Answer:

The correct option is (D) change direction when they change mediums.

Explanation:

When light enters from one medium to another medium it changes its original path and deflects itself. This changing of path is known as the refraction of light and this is the reason we see when we put a pencil in a cup of water, it looks as if it is bent and larger in the water.
