$A$ diver looking up through the water sees the outside world contained in a circular horizon. The refractive index of water is $\frac{4}{3}$,and the diver's eyes are $15 \, cm$ below the surface of water. Then the radius of the circle is

  • A
    $15 \times 3 \times \sqrt{5} \, cm$
  • B
    $15 \times 3\sqrt{7} \, cm$
  • C
    $\frac{15 \times \sqrt{7}}{3} \, cm$
  • D
    $\frac{15 \times 3}{\sqrt{7}} \, cm$
