D Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as if the pinhole in a pinhole camera becomes bigger, the image formed will be inverted and blurred. It is due to the fact that when more than one ray will enter the camera from the given point, it will result in the formation of two or more images overlapping one another. This will result in a blurred image.
