Answer:

a. The apparent depth of the object is less than the real depth.

Explanation:

When we observe for any object lying at the bottom of the pool from the edge of the pool then we are actually viewing an object from an optically rarer medium into an optically denser medium.

The schematic shows the apparent view of the object due to the bending of the rays coming form the object to our eyes.

The rays when coming from a denser medium to a rarer medium they bend away from the normal of the interface.
