The correct answer is
C. Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through Object A.
In fact, the index of refraction of a material is defined as:

where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in the material. Rearranging the equation, we can write the speed of light in the material as:

So we that, the smaller the refractive index n, the greater the speed of light in the material, v. In this problem, object B has lower refractive index than object A, so light travels faster in object B.
<span> d = r*t is the basic distance equation
d = 6000 km
t with the tail wind = 6 hr
r with the tail wind = speed of the plane + wind speed = s + w
t with the head wind = 7.5 hr
r with the head wind = speed of the plane - wind speed = s-w
(s+w)*6 = 6000
(s-w)*7.5 = 6000
s + w = 1000
s - w = 800
</span><span> 2s = 1800
s = 900 km/h
s + w = 1000
w = 100
Check the anwer by calculating the return trip.
(900-100) * 7.5 = 800 * 7.5
800 * 7.5 = 6000 km
Answer: The rate of the jet in still air is 900 km/h. The rate of the wind is 100 km/hr.</span>
It would be option A (a decrease in mass with an increase in volume)
I’m pretty sure point D cause North America is in the opposite direction of the sun
