Solution

The correct option is B Inverted, diminished
Telescopes are used to obtain an enlarged image of a distant object, it uses a curved lens or mirror to collect light from distant objects and to focus that light on an image and creates a brighter and sharper image. The focused image formed by the objective lens of a telescope is magnified by a smaller second lens called an eyepiece.
