Final answer:

An object placed at the center of curvature of a convex lens will produce a real, inverted image of the same size at the center of curvature on the opposite side of the lens.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an object is placed at the center of curvature of a convex lens, according to the principles of optics, it will produce an image that is on the opposite side of the lens and at the center of curvature as well. The rays coming from the object will converge after passing through the lens and meet at the center of curvature on the other side, forming a real and inverted image of the same size as the object.
