Solution

The correct option is B The image is real
Convex mirrors only form virtual images as light rays passing through it always get diverged and so they never meet at a point in reality.

In such cases, we need to extend the rays and make them appear to meet behind the mirror. Hence, the images are never real.

Option (d) is wrong statement. Convex mirrors can never form real images.
