Solution

The correct option is C An Inverted and small image
An image obtained in a pinhole camera is inverted and small. This happens because light travels in a straight-line path. Hence, the light from the upper point of the object passes through the pinhole and strikes the tracing paper at the lower end, and the light from the lower part of the object passes through the pinhole and strikes the upper end of the tracing paper.
