The correct option is D Image is always virtual and diminished
A convex
lens is a lens which is thin at the edges and thick at the middle. Two
spherical surfaces are bulging outward. A convex lens is also known as a
converging lens because it bends light towards a single focal point. It has positive focal length. Convex lenses
can form two types of images: real and virtual. Convex lenses are the only type
of lens that can form real images. Images can be diminished as well as
magnified depending upon the position of object.
