Solution

The correct option is C Concave mirror
For a concave mirror, when the object is between the pole and the focus, it forms a virtual, erect and magnified image. Hence, the mirror is concave mirror.
Convex mirror always forms a virtual and diminished image.
Plane mirror always forms a virtual image same size as the object.
