The correct option is (D).
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Aconcave lensis alensthat possesses at least one surface that curves inwards. It is a diverginglens, meaning that it spreads out light rays that have been refracted through it.
Given,
As magnification is goes higher the object distance is closer, therefore from the given table the object distance should be less than
Conclusion:
The correct answer is D.
