Solution

The correct option is D $1000$ times
Magnification and resolving power is the key difference between Light Microscope and Electron Microscope which is about 1000X of the magnification with resolving power of 0.2um in Light Microscope and that of Electron Microscope is 10,00,000X magnification with resolving power of 0.5nm or even less.
Hence the correct answer is (C)
