Option b. is true

Explanation:

Light travel slower in glass than in air because of glass is denser than air and its refractive index is more than that of air. Therefore, except air, light travels slower in any other medium

Other options are not correct like

When an electromagnetic wave enters a new medium it speed as well as wavelength changes but frequency does not change.
