Solution

The correct option is B an inverted image
A pinhole camera makes use of an extremely small (a pinhole-sized) opening to focus all light rays within the smallest possible area to obtain a clear image. Since light travels in a straight line, light from the top of the object after passing through the pinhole will reach the bottom of the camera screen and light from the bottom of the object will pass through the pinhole and reach the top of the screen. This will cause an inversion of the image as shown below.
