Solution

The correct option is D Real and inverted
The pinhole camera is the simplest kind of camera. It does not have a lens. It just makes use of an extremely small opening (a pinhole-sized opening) to focus all light rays within the smallest possible area to obtain an image, as clearly as possible. The simple image formed using a pinhole camera is always real and inverted as shown in the image below.
