Solution

The correct option is D

all of these


Explanation

Concave lens- A concave lens diverges a straight light beam from the source into a reduced, upright virtual image and has at least one surface curved inwards.

  1. Since it diverges all parallel rays so that they appear to emanate from the focus on the other side of the lens, a concave lens always creates a virtual image of an object.
  2. A concave lens provides an erect and diminishing image because it is thinner in the center than at the corners.
  3. Diagram representation-
Show by drawing a ray-diagram that the image of an object formed by a concave  lens is virtual, erect and diminished. - Sarthaks eConnect | Largest Online  Education Community

Hence, the correct option is a D.
