B. Their maximum magnification is 100 times the object size.

C. They enlarge images from a great distance.

Answer 1

A. They contain more than one lens.
that's why they're called COMPOUND. "Simple" ones - eg magnifying glasses - are only one lens

Answer 2

C. They enlarge images from a great distance.
Telescopes tend to do this, although the word "enlargement" has to be carefully defined. T'scopes "magnify" the VISUAL ANGLE of a distant object, and in doing so make it appear to the viewer as though it were CLOSER than it appears to the naked eye This is called ANGULAR MAGNIFICATION.
Think of, say, the moon. Through a 'scope it looks closer. But it isn't "LINEARLY" magnified, because if it were it would be HUGE. As said, it's just closer.
