The correct answer is: When a lens is dipped in water, magnitude of its focal length increases.

Focal length of lens in a medium is given by

1f=μrel-11R1-1R2

The relative refractive index of a medium is more in air and less in water

μrelair>μrelwater

fair < fwater

Focal length of a mirror does not depend on medium.
