Within Alhazen's camera obscura, which outcome resulted from restricting aperture size?

💡 Explanation

Reducing aperture size in Alhazen’s camera obscura leads to increased image sharpness and decreased illuminance because diffraction limits light rays reaching the projection. Therefore, the image is sharper, however at the cost of lower brightness rather than increased aberration.
