Answer

$C.-12.8cm$

Work Step by Step

We know that $f_{in \space fluid}=[\frac{(n_{lens}-1)n_{fluid}}{n_{lens}-n_{fluid}}]f_{in\space air}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $f_{in\space fluid}=[\frac{(1.31-1)\times 1.5}{1.31-1.5}]\times 5.25cm=-12.8cm$ Thus the correct answer is option $C$, that is $-12.8cm$
