(a) small focal length and large diameter
(b) large focal length and small diameter
(c) small focal length and small diameter
(d) large focal length and large diameter

Answer :  (d) large focal length and large diameter

Concept / Approach: Telescopes have to capture as much light as possible to form a good image, so large diameter of objective lens (aperture) is preferred. Also for angular magnification $M_{\text{telescope}}=\frac{f_o}{f_e}$
