Answer»

Right ANSWER is (c) Increasing the diameter of the objective

The explanation is: The light-gathering power of the objective will increase and even FAINT OBJECTS will BECOME visible. This is DONE by increasing the diameter of the objective. So, by increasing the diameter of the objective, the range of the telescope can be increased.
