Total magnification is:
A
the strength of the eyepiece lens
B
the strength of the eyepiece multiplied by the objective lense
C
using a magnifying glass
D
what you see under the objective lens
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Total magnifying power, or total magnification, can be calculated by taking the magnification of the eyepiece lens being used, which is usually 10 times, and multiplying this value by the magnification of the objective lens, which will differ depending on which of the objective lenses you choose to use.

Detailed explanation-2: -To get the total magnification level you must multiply the magnification of the ocular lens by the magnification of the objective lens. So, if you are viewing your slide under the 40x objective lens you would multiply that by the 10x of the ocular lens for a total magnification of 400x.
