The correct answers are the options (b,d)

Diffraction of light can only be observed if the size of the aperture or obstacle is less than the wavelength of the light wave.

The given width of the pinhole is 103 angstrom. The wavelength of sunlight is 4000 angstrom to 8000 A. Therefore, the light is diffracted from the hole. And due to this, the image formed on the screen will be geometrically different.
