Solution

The correct option is C

Sun is spherical in shape.


Pinhole camera always forms inverted image only. The reason we don't see the image of the sun inverted is that the image is very small and it is highly symmetrical (the sun itself is spherical and symmetric). So, being inverted or not it appears to be the same.
