Answer Key / Explanation : (c) -

(c)

In chromatic aberration the image formed by a lens has coloured fringes, because the refractive index for different colours is different and hence the focal length of lens for different colours is different. So, the cause of chromatic aberration is the variation of focal length with colour.
