The correct answer is: two points propagating in two different parallel directions.
We know that in any medium except vacuum or air, the velocities of different colours are different. Therefore, both red and green colours are refracted at different angles of refraction. So, after emerging from glass slab through opposite parallel faces, they appear at two different points and move in two different parallel direction.
