To obtain a magnified image at the distance of distinct vision $(D)$ using a simple microscope,the object should be placed:

  • A
    between the principal focus and optical centre of the lens.
  • B
    at the principal focus.
  • C
    slightly beyond the principal focus.
  • D
    at the distance of distinct vision.
