Solution
The correct option is B real As light travels in a straight line, light from the top of the object after passing through the pinhole will reach the bottom of the camera screen and light from the bottom of the object will pass through the pinhole and reach the top of the screen as you can see in the figure. Thus, the image formed will be inverted. Since the image is formed on a screen, it is real.
