Solution

The correct option is A Convex
Farsightedness or hypermetropia is the inability of the eye to focus on nearby objects. The farsighted eye has no difficulty viewing distant objects. The lens can no longer pressume the convex and curved shape lens that is needed to view the nearby objects. This vision problem can be corrected by using a converging lens.
