Detailed Solution

A pinhole camera creates an inverted image when light traveling in a straight line passes through an aperture to create an inverted image.
Options (1) and (2) are incorrect because the pinhole chamber does not contain a lens.
The light enters directly into the hole and produces an image that is inverted because it is formed on the opposite side of the box. Light from the top of the object travels to the bottom of the box, while light from the bottom of the object forms at the top of the opposite side. The pinhole camera does not produce an upright image.
