According to the rules of convex lenses, if the image is real, it is always inverted. Option A is incorrect because a convex lens can form a virtual image if the object is placed within the focal length of the lens. Option C is incorrect, as a real image is always inverted. Option D is also incorrect. A virtual image can be upright or inverted, depending on the position of the object with respect to the lens. Finally, option E is incorrect as a virtual image can be formed by both convex and concave lenses.
