In an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment,a straight black line of length $L$ is drawn on the objective lens. The eyepiece forms a real image of this line. The length of this image is $l$. The magnification of the telescope is

  • A
    $L/l$
  • B
    $L/l + 1$
  • C
    $L/l - 1$
  • D
    $(L + l)/(L - l)$
