Answer
(b) convex lens converges the incident rays towards the principal axis whereas concave lens diverges
Reason — Difference between a convex and concave lens is that a convex lens converges the incident rays towards the principal axis whereas concave lens diverges the incident rays away from the principal axis.

A ray of light after refraction through a lens emerges parallel to the principal axis of the lens. The incident ray passes through :
- its optical centre
- its first focus
