Solution

The correct option is A 6
Given
MP=30
fe=5 cm
Magnifying power of eyepiece is, Me=Dfe

Me=255=5 [Taking D=25 cm]

Now, the magnifying power of the compound microscope is given by,
MP=Mo×Me

30=5×Mo

Mo=6

Hence, (A) is the correct answer.
Why this question?
Concept: Total magnification of combination of lens is equal to product of magnification of individual lenses.
