The statement that it causes light to slow down significantly best describes the high index of refraction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Index of refraction is the amount a medium will be refracting the incident light. As it is a measure of amount of light getting refracted, the medium decides the index of refraction of that type.

If the index of refraction of any medium is high, then it will refract most of the incident light and so the light' speed travelling through the medium will get slower.

So increase in refractive index decrease the light' speed. Thus, if the light' speed decreases or slows down significantly then the substance has high index of refraction.

Petroleum Products

Petroleum and its products are mainly composed of carbon polymers (chains), as the backbone, with different structural and functional groups. Plastic, for example, is made of polypropylene and polybutylene which is mainly made of carbon atoms, whose monomers are linked in a chain to form polymers that make up the products.
Synthetic rubber on the other hand is made of copolymers of carbon and other addictives such as styrene. Synthetic fiber is made of nylon that is composed of a copolymer between carboxylic acid and amides.
