The speed of light will be maximum in medium A.

Question Image

Snell's law, 

μ=sinisinr

which implies that refractive angle and refractive index are inversely proportional to each other. 

The speed of light and refractive index are also inversely proportional to each other. As medium A has a greater refractive angle, it has a lower refractive index. 

Thus, medium A has the maximum speed of light.
