Solution
The correct option is A A flint glass Flint glass is used in opticals and prisms. Flint glass is optical glass that has a relatively high refractive index and low Abbe number. A concave lens of flint glass is commonly combined with a convex lens of crown glass to produce an achromatic doublet lens because of their compensating optical properties, which reduces chromatic aberration.
