Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Without thinking, the answer is C.

The problem is with D. Of course it is going to depend on the transparency. If the material is a rock, then the light won't go through, and n >>>1. I don't think you are intended to think that way, but I sure wish D wasn't there. I'd answer C, but be prepared to see it come out as D.
