The correct answer is: large focal length and large diameter
For astronomical refracting telescope

Angular magnification is more for large focal length

Of objective lens M.P=f0fe

Resolving power =D1.22λ

Resolving power is high for large diameter.

So, objective lens should have large focal length (f.) and large diameter D
