The image formed by a converging lens is virtual when the object is placed at a distance less than the focal length. In this case, the object is placed at a distance of 2 cm which is less than the focal length of 5.4 cm. Therefore, the image formed will be virtual. Since the object is placed beyond the focal point, the image will be upright. Also, since the object is placed closer to the lens than its focal point, the image will be enlarged. Therefore, the correct option is D) virtual, upright, enlarged.
