$A$ fish in water (refractive index $n$) looks at a bird vertically above in the air. If $y$ is the height of the bird and $x$ is the depth of the fish from the surface,then the distance of the bird as estimated by the fish is

  • A
    $x+y(1-1/n)$
  • B
    $x+ny$
  • C
    $x+y(1+1/n)$
  • D
    $y+x(1-1/n)$
