Answer

The actual bottle should be upside down compared to the image of the bottle.
B
The image of the bottle should appear larger than the actual bottle.
C
The image of the bottle should be upside down compared to the actual bottle.
D
The actual bottle should appear larger than the image of the bottle.

Explanation

A concave lens produces a virtual, upright, reduced image of an object. Thus, the image stays right-side up but appears smaller than the actual bottle. Choice D, “The actual bottle should appear larger than the image of the bottle,” describes this correctly.
