well this is a funny question actualyl according to lens makers formula if u2=u1 thats is medium and lens refractive index will   be same in the formula their will give 1 ans a result -1 =0 so of course if 1/f=0 then f=inf and if f=inf then r=inf and that is the property of a plane glass sheetso ans is C
