Solution

The correct option is A Entry of air bubbles
Coverslip is fixed on the microscopic slide, where the sample is mounted. It is mounted in such a way that no air bubbles are trapped. When air bubbles are trapped, the microscopic view will not look clear and the bubbles will be seen in the view.
Hence A is the correct option.
