Solution

The correct option is B an erect, virtual image of diminished size
As can be seen from a simple ray diagram of image formation of an object by a convex mirror the image formed is less in size as compared to object and is erect as object and virtual as rays do not actually meet but appear to meet when produced backwards.
Hence a convex mirror always produces an erect, virtual image of diminished size.
