Option D

Light waves refract in multiple directions through the lens.

Explanation:

Refraction of light is the change in direction of a ray of light as it passes through two mediums with different densities.

When viewing an object through a rectangle lens, the rays incident from the object travel from air, through the glass lens before reaching your eye. When two mediums are involved, refraction occurs.

However, when viewing through air, the light rays pass through only one medium. This is why no refraction occurs.
