The figure shows a surface $XY$ separating two transparent media, medium -$1$ and medium -$2$. The lines $a b$ and cd represent wavefronts of a light wave travelling in medium-$1$ and incident on $XY$. The lines ef and gh represent wavefronts of the light wave in medium-$2$ after refraction.

$(A)$ parallel beam in each medium

$(B)$ convergent beam in each medium

$(C)$ divergent beam in each medium

$(D)$ divergent beam in one medium and convergent beam in the other medium.
