Answer:

The correct choice is

B.

It is thinner at the edges and thicker at the center.

Step-by-step explanation:

A convex lens has to converge the rays coming towards it at a single point. For that to be possible, the lens has to be thin at the edges for the bending of light to be smaller and must be thick at the center of the bending of light to be larger there.
