A. erect
B. inverted
C. sometimes erect, sometimes inverted
D. None of these
Check Answer
The answer is B. inverted.
In a compound microscope, the object is placed close to the object lens, and the image formed by the objective lens is magnified and inverted. This inverted image is then further magnified by the eyepiece lens, which does not change the orientation of the image. Therefore, the final image formed in a compound microscope is always inverted.
