$A$ transparent slab of thickness $d$ has a refractive index $n(z)$ that increases with $z$. Here $z$ is the vertical distance inside the slab,measured from the top. The slab is placed between two media with uniform refractive indices $n_1$ and $n_2 (> n_1)$,as shown in the figure. $A$ ray of light is incident with angle $\theta_i$ from medium $1$ and emerges in medium $2$ with refraction angle $\theta_f$ with a lateral displacement $l$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) true?
$(A)$ $n_1 \sin \theta_i = n_2 \sin \theta_f$
$(B)$ $n_1 \sin \theta_i = (n_2 - n_1) \sin \theta_f$
$(C)$ $l$ is independent of $n_2$
$(D)$ $l$ is dependent on $n(z)$
