Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in focus. At low power (lower magnification), more objects are within the depth of field, resulting in a greater depth of field. As magnification increases (higher power), the depth of field decreases because fewer objects are within the depth of field.
