The correct statement describing a possible way to apply a concave lens is:

Concave lenses can be used in car headlights to expand the projected light outwards.

Concave lenses diverge light rays, which can help spread the light from a source, such as car headlights, allowing for a wider distribution of light. The other options incorrectly describe the application of concave lenses in contexts where they are not typically used.
