The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation


In a compound microscope, the objective lens forms a real and diminished image, which is then magnified by the eyepiece lens. The final image formed by the microscope is virtual and enlarged due to the converging nature of the eyepiece and the intermediate image formed by the objective. Thus, the correct answer is option (1): Virtual and enlarged.
