The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Applications of Convex Lens:** - A convex lens is a converging lens that is thicker in the center than at the edges. It is commonly used in various optical devices. 2. **Check Each Option:** - **Option A: Microscope** - In a compound microscope, both convex and concave lenses are used. The convex lens is used to create a magnified image of the object. - **Option B: Telescope** - A telescope typically uses both concave and convex lenses. The convex lens is used as the objective lens to gather light and form an image. - **Option C: Projector** - In a projector, a convex lens is used to focus and project the image onto a screen. This is a common application of convex lenses. - **Option D: All of the Above** - Since convex lenses are used in microscopes, telescopes, and projectors, this option includes all previous options. 3. **Conclusion:** - Since convex lenses are used in all the mentioned devices (microscope, telescope, and projector), the correct answer is **Option D: All of the Above**. **Final Answer:** The convex lens is used in all of the above options (A, B, and C). Therefore, the correct option is D. ---
