The ideal decision is A
Real, inverted and magnified
By using a lens, you can get a magnified view, m = v u = 1.5.
The absence of a positive sign indicates that the object is inverted with regard to the picture, which makes the image genuine. The numerical value of magnification is greater than 1 indicating that the image formed is bigger than the object, i.e., enlarged.
