Solution

The correct option is A A concave mirror of suitable focal length
A diminished image can be formed by both the concave and convex mirror, but as we know a convex mirror only forms a virtual image which cannot be obtained on a screen, hence we can use a concave mirror of suitable focal length to achieve this.
