Solution

The correct option is A Converges them
When rays of light fall on a convex lens, then the lens refracts(the incident ray undergoes refraction twice before leaving the convex lens) the incident light rays and merges the light rays at one point. The point where all the light rays meet is called its focus. It converges the light rays to a point. So It is also called a converging lens.
