As shown in the above figure

The angle of deviation through a prism is minimum when

(A) Incident ray and emergent ray are symmetric to the prism

(B) The refracted ray inside the prism becomes parallel to its base

i.e r_1=r_2

(C) Angle of incidence is equal to that of the angle of emergence

i.e i=e
