A)An upright virtual image caused by the first lens forms between the two lenses.
B)An inverted real image caused by the first lens forms between the two lenses.

When a real, inverted image is formed to the left of a diverging lens, it acts as a virtual object for the diverging lens. The diverging lens then produces a virtual, upright image to the right of it. Therefore, the real, inverted final image can only be produced if a real, inverted image was formed by the converging lens to the left of where the diverging lens is placed. Thus, the correct choice is D.

A Real Object Is Place to the Left of a Converging
