Solution

The correct option is D the brightness of the image reduces
As the image formed by a large number of rays from the object.so, if any part of the lens is covered,the image will form. the brightness of image will be less compared to the image formed by without wrapping the lens. Hence, If the upper half of the lens is blackened then the brightness of the image reduces.
