- AAluminium
- BGlass
- CSapphire
- DWater
Explanation
A convex lens must be made of a transparent material that refracts light; glass, sapphire and water are all transparent and can form lenses (water droplets act as lenses). Aluminium is an opaque metal that blocks light rather than refracting it, so it cannot be used to make a lens. Hence option A.
