When light enters water at an angle, it bends or refracts, making objects appear higher or closer to the surface than they actually are. This means that if you aim directly at the sighted fish, your spear will actually hit below it. To compensate for this, you should aim lower than the fish you're trying to spear, so that when the spear bends due to refraction it will hit the fish at the desired spot. Therefore, choice C is the best option.
