Answer 1

The correct option is A Both the statements are incorrect

A pinhole camera forms an image on a translucent screen. A translucent screen can be made by tracing paper, a single sheet of tissue paper or using butter paper.

The image formed by a pinhole camera is always inverted and not upright. Hence, both statements are incorrect.
