Observe the given figure of the raindrop and answer the following questions:

- Label A and B of the given diagram. Why colour will deviate most.
- Name the phenomenon shown in label C.
- Assertion (A): Propagation of light through an optical fibre is due to total internal reflection taking place at the core-cladding interface.
- Reason (R): Refractive index of the material of the cladding of the optical fibre is greater than that of the core.
