the purpose of the ocular lens is to
a magnify the image from the objective lens.
b improve resolution.
c decrease the refractive index.
d increase the light.
e decrease the light.

Explanation:

In a compound - microscope, the objective lens forms a real image of the specimen. The ocular lens (eyepiece) then magnifies this real image formed by the objective lens so that the final image is magnified enough for the observer to see fine details. It does not improve resolution (resolution is mainly related to the objective lens and wavelength of light), does not affect the refractive index, and is not for increasing or decreasing light.

Answer:

A. magnify the image from the objective lens
