Detailed Solution

In any medium other than air or vacuum, the velocities of different colours are different. Therefore, both red and green colours are refracted at different angles pf refraction. Hence, after emerging from glass slab through opposite parallel face, they appear at two different points and move in the two different parallel directions.

Aliter: Angle of refraction will be different, due to which red and green emerge from different points and will be parallel.
