Solution

The correct option is D real, inverted & magnified
In a compound microscope, the intermediate image is formed only by the effect of objective lens, which is a convex length. Hence, the behaviour will be similar to that produced by a double convex length.
Now, in a compound microscope you place the object just away from the focus, and hence, the lens forms a real, inverted and magnified image.
