Solution

The correct option is A Convex.
Hypermetropia or long-sightedness symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Long-sightedness, also known as hypermetropia or hyperopia is a common vision disorder. It results from the overall power of the eye not being strong enough, or the length of the eye being too short.

Thus the concave lens is used to correct myopia and the convex lens is used to correct hypermetropia.
