The correct answer is option C.

When a convex lens is used to form an image of an object placed beyond its focus, the image is formed on the opposite side of the lens from the object. This type of image is called a real image, and it is formed by the convergence of light rays. As these parallel rays pass through the convex lens, they converge on the opposite side.

The image formed by a convex lens when the object is beyond its focal length is upside down and enlarged. This is evident in ray diagrams where rays coming from the object converge after passing through the lens to a common point where the image is formed.
