A magnifying glass is used, as the object to be viewed can be brought closer to the eye than the normal near point. This results in

Hence, the correct answer is option (a,b).

Explanation:-

 A magnifying glass simply contains a convex lens of very small focal length.

For magnification when the final image is formed at D and \infty \left ( \text {i.e}, m_{D}\; \text {and}\; m_{\infty } \right ).

                     m_{D}=\left ( 1+\frac{D}{f} \right )_{max} and m_{\infty }=\left (\frac{D}{f} \right )_{min}

By using a magnifying glass, any object can be brought closer to the eye as compared to the normal near point. The angle formed by the object in the eye is larger and thus, is more detailed. The image formed is virtually erect and is also enlarged.
