$A$ beaker containing liquid is placed on a table,underneath a microscope which can be moved along a vertical scale. The microscope is focused,through the liquid,onto a mark on the table when the reading on the scale is $a$. It is next focused on the upper surface of the liquid and the reading is $b$. More liquid is added and the observations are repeated,the corresponding readings are $c$ and $d$. The refractive index of the liquid is

  • A
    $\frac{d - c}{b - a}$
  • B
    $\frac{d - b}{c - a}$
  • C
    $\frac{d - c - b + a}{b - d}$
  • D
    $\frac{d - b}{d - c - b + a}$
