Solution

The correct option is D

The intensity of the image will decrease


  1. Image formation by lens occurs when rays pass the lens and meet at some point on the other side or appear to meet.
  2. If we cover the upper half of the lens with an opaque screen, less number of rays will contribute to forming the image.
  3. As a result, the intensity of the image will be low.

Hence option D is correct.
