$A$ right-angled isosceles prism is held on the surface of a liquid composed of miscible solvents $A$ and $B$ of refractive index $n_{A}=1.5$ and $n_{B}=1.3$,respectively. The refractive index of the prism is $n_{p}=1.5$ and that of the liquid is given by $n_{L}=C_{A} n_{A}+(1-C_{A}) n_{B}$,where $C_{A}$ is the percentage of solvent $A$ in the liquid. If $\theta_{C}$ is the critical angle at the prism-liquid interface,the plot which best represents the variation of the critical angle with the percentage of solvent is
