Model Answer

Answer: B — Concave lens

Elongation of the eyeball causes myopia (near-sightedness). It is corrected by using a concave lens of suitable power.

Source: Chapter 10, Section 10.2(a) – Myopia

Explanation

The key link is: elongated eyeball → myopia → concave lens. The passage explicitly states myopia "may arise due to…elongation of the eyeball" and "can be corrected by using a concave lens of suitable power." Students often confuse this with convex lens (used for hypermetropia). Remember: Myopia = concave; Hypermetropia = convex.
