Answer

4.17D.

Work Step by Step

The near point is at infinity. For any objects that are nearby, the image must be formed at infinity: $s’=\infty$. Use the lens equation. $$\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{s’}=\frac{1}{f}$$ $$\frac{1}{0.24m}+\frac{1}{\infty}=\frac{1}{f}$$ $$\frac{1}{f}=4.17m^{-1}$$ The reciprocal of the focal length is the power.
