Solution
The correct option is D Erect, Virtual, Enlarged
When the object is between 12 cm and 31 cm, the object distance is in the range:
u∈(−19 cm,0)
But, -19 cm is the focal length of the lens. So, the object is placed between the focus and the optic centre. This means that the image formed is enlarged, virtual and erect.
