The correct option is B False
The image characteristics formed by concave mirror:
An object beyond the centre of curvature: Real image, inverted image, highly diminished image.
An object on the centre of curvature: Real image, inverted image, the size of an image.
An object between centre of curvature and focus: Real image, inverted image, enlarged image.
An object between focus and pole: Virtual image, erect image, enlarged image.
Thus, concave mirror forms real, inverted, virtual, erect, diminished and enlarged images.
Hence, the statement is false.
