Which row correctly describes the properties of converging and diverging lenses?
| Converging lenses | Diverging lenses | |
|---|---|---|
| A | always produce real images | can be used to correct long-sightedness |
| B | can produce magnified virtual images | always produce diminished virtual images |
| C | can only produce magnified images | can produce real images of real objects |
| D | can be used to correct short-sightedness | can be used as magnifying glasses |
