One face of a glass prism is silver-polished. $A$ light ray falls at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ on the other face. After refraction,it is subsequently reflected from the silvered face and then retraces its path. The refracting angle of the prism is $30^{\circ}$. The refractive index of the prism is:

  • A
    $\frac{3}{2}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{3}$
