Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
We cannot interchange the objective and eye lens of a microscope to make a telescope.
The reason is that the focal length of lenses in microscope are very small, of the order of mm or a few cm and the difference (fo - fe) is very small, while the telescope objective have a very large focal length as compared to eye lens of microscope.
