    The Rayleigh Criterion
    I really need help with figuring this question out.

    Q. The Rayleigh Criterion states that:

    A Two points can just be resolved in an image if their diffraction patterns overlap perfectly.
    B Two points can just be resolved in an image if their diffraction patterns overlap such that the maximum of one overlaps the maximum of the other.
    C Two points can just be resolved if their diffraction patterns overlap such that the second maximum of one overlaps the first minimum of the other.
    D Two points can just be resolved if their diffraction patterns overlap such that the second maximum of one overlaps the second maximum of the other.
    E Two points can just be resolved in an image if their diffraction patterns overlap such that the central maximum of one overlaps the first minimum of the other.

    Thank you
