It produces a virtualimage. It produces an invertedimage. It can be made from a diverginglens. The image distance will be less than the objectdistance.

Explanation / Answer

b. It produces a virtual image.

The magnifying glass allows one to focus objects that are closer to the eye than the near point by forming a virtual image of the object at infinity (the magnifying glass must be placed one focal length away from the object). Because the object is now closer to the eye, it appears larger.
