Solution

The correct option is A Concave lens
Concave prescription lenses (called as minus lenses) are used to bend light rays slightly outwards. The light rays then have a greater angle to bend back to focus, when travelling through the cornea and lens. As a result, the light rays focus further back on the retina.
