Solution

The correct option is B concave
The upper part of a bifocal lens has a concave lens (diverging lens) so that a person can see distant objects from the upper part and the lower part has a convex lens (converging lens) so that the person can look through it to see near objects, i.e., for reading. The lenses are placed in this order for the convenience of the users.
