A magnifying lens can be used to create an image that enlarges the object of its focus. Which statement correctly describes a model for how magnifying lenses enlarge an object's image?
B
The lens causes light to reflect back towards the observer, creating an image larger than the actual object being observed.
The lens causes light to refract as it bends through the lens, creating an image that appears larger to the observer's eye.
The lens absorbs more light than it transmits, causing a distorted image to form that appears larger than the actual size of the object.
The lens causes the light to diffract around the sides of the magnifying glass, which bends the light into an image larger than the object's actual size.

The correct statement that describes how magnifying lenses enlarge an object's image is:
The lens causes light to refract as it bends through the lens, creating an image that appears larger to the observer's eye.
Magnifying lenses work on the principle of refraction, where light rays bend as they pass through the curved surface of the lens, allowing the viewer to see a magnified image of the object.
