The picture that correctly shows the path of refracted light rays given an object outside the focal point is picture A.

What are the refracted light rays given an object outside the focal point

Refraction bends light rays towards the normal when entering a denser medium and away from the normal when exiting. The angle of refraction depends on the angle of incidence and the refractive indices of the two materials.

The thickness and curvature of the lens can influence the degree of refraction and the resulting image formation. However, spherical and chromatic aberrations, can distort the refracted rays and affect the image quality.

The correct path is shown in picture A.

This comes from the fact that the light will bend while it passes through the lens but the lens will converge the rays at one point.
