larger and upside down.

Answer 1

Smaller and upside down

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question, we must recognise that the characteristics of the image formed by a convex lens depends on the position of the object from the lens.

From the diagram given in the question above, the following data were obtained:

1. The image is smaller than the object.

2. The image is inverted i.e upside down.

3. The image is closer to the lens

4. The image between 2f and f

Now, considering the options given in question above, the correct answer to the question is:

The image is smaller and upside down.
