Speed of light will be least in Y.

Refractive index tells us in what extent the light refracts in a particular medium.

More is the refractive index, more will it refract

Also light travels slow, if it refracts more, hence it will travel slow in a medium with more refractive medium

Therefore, highest refractive index out of the 3 medium is Y

Hence that's the answer.
