Ray Diagrams for Curved Lens
     
1.   The ray that leaves the object parallel to the principal axis, refracts lined up with the focal point.  Convex lens use the focal point on the opposite side of the lens.   Concave lens use the focal point on the same side of the lens.
    
2. The ray that leaves the object lined up with the center of the lens continues in a straight line.
       
3. The image is where the lines intersect.  If they intersect on the same side of the lens as the object, it is a virtual image.   If they intersect on the other side, it is a real image.
    
The image is virtual, upright, and smaller.

The Correct Answer is C.
