A lens of large focal length and large aperture is best suited as an objective of an astronomical telescope since:

1. a large aperture contributes to the quality and visibility of the images.
2. a large area of the objective ensures better light-gathering power.
3. a large aperture provides a better resolution.
4. all of the above.
