c.

A plant cell under a microscope showing a line labeled C to D representing its length. The image length of the cell from point C to point D is measured to be 7.5 cm7.5\text{ cm}7.5 cm. The real length of the cell is 15 μm15\ \mu\text{m}15 μm.

Calculate the magnification of the image. Use the equation: magnification=size of imagereal size of object\text{magnification} = \frac{\text{size of image}}{\text{real size of object}}magnification=real size of objectsize of image​
