The correct relation between limit of resolution and resolving power is

  • A
    Limit of resolution $= \frac{1}{\text{resolving power}}$
  • B
    Limit of resolution $\propto$ resolving power
  • C
    Limit of resolution $\propto \frac{1}{\text{resolving power}}$
  • D
    Limit of resolution $\propto (1 - \text{resolving power})$
