As convex lens is diverging lens ! So the last figure is correct one !!

Answer: The correct answer is Image 4.

Explanation: There are 2 types of lenses:

1. Concave lens: These lenses are thinner in the middle portion and are diverging lenses. This means that when parallel light rays pass through the lens, the refracted rays diverge from one point.

2. Convex Lens: These lenses are thicker in the middle and are converging lenses. This means that when parallel light rays pass through these lens, the light rays converge at one point.

Convex lenses are in image 3 and 4 and the correct representation when light rays passes through convex lens is shown in Image 4.
