    option A

    Explanation:

    When white light is incident on prism it bends and dispersed into different colors.

    According to Cauchy equation, refractive index is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light.

    wavelength of the light in decreasing order

    orange > yellow > green > blue

    wavelength of the orange light is the highest.

    Hence, the refractive index of orange will be lowest.

    The correct answer is option A
