Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

A lens is an optic device that can be used for the refraction, converging or diverging rays, of light. The two major types are the converging and diverging lenses. Each lens is bifocal which implies that it has two sides, and can be splitted into meniscuses.

A converging lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edge. It converges all rays of light propagating through it parallel to its plane to a point.

A diverging lens is thinner in the middle but thicker at the edge. It is diverges all rays of light propagating through it parallel to is plane as if they originate from a point.

Considering the given diagrams, option D depicts appropriate path of light through a lens. The arrows shows the rays of light and directions of their propagation.
