Solution

The correct option is B L2
We know that the focal length of a lens fR where R=radius of curvature of surfaces of lens

And, chromatic aberration f

Hence, larger the radius more will be chromatic aberration.

And, radius of curvature of surface is more for L2.

Hence chromatic aberration will be more for L2
