A lens with two different curves on the back and one spherical front curve is known as a:

Explanation:
Two different curvatures on the back surface mean the back is toric, providing astigmatic correction along two principal meridians. When the front surface remains spherical, this combination is described as a toric base curve lens—the base curve being the back surface, which is what defines the toricity. The other options don’t fit because they imply different back-surface configurations (a spherical back, multiple back curves, or a flat back) and thus don’t describe the two-meridian back curvature with a spherical front.
