A point-like object is placed at the focal point of a converging lens, so the light rays emerging from the lens will be parallel to the principal axis. The object is now moved closer to the lens. Which statement is true about the light rays from the lens?
A) They will remain parallel to the principal axis.
B) They converge toward each other.
C) They emerge parallel to each other but not to the principal axis.
D) They diverge from each other.
