The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Lens Types**: A lens can be classified into two main types: convex (converging) and concave (diverging). A convex lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. 2. **Behavior of Light Rays**: When parallel rays of light pass through a convex lens, they bend towards the principal axis and converge at a point known as the focal point. 3. **Identifying the Function of a Convex Lens**: Since a convex lens causes parallel rays to converge, it is referred to as a converging lens. This is a key characteristic of convex lenses. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Diverging - B) Both A and C - C) Converging - D) None of these 5. **Selecting the Correct Answer**: Based on the behavior of light through a convex lens, the correct answer is option C, "Converging". 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the statement "Convex lens is also..." can be completed with "Converging". ---
