The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

In a light pipe, total internal reflection occurs when the refractive index (or optical density) of the core is greater than that of the cladding. This allows the light to be confined within the core. The angles r and θ depend on Snell’s law, and they are not always equal. Therefore, only statement (A) is correct.
