Myopia is caused due to large converging power of eye lens or due to too long eye ball. In both the cases image is formed before the retina. To form image on retina we must use the lens that diverges the ray of light such that the net convergence decreases, also minus power lens that is a concave lens does exactly the same. Whereas the other lens converge the beam. Hence option D is correct
