Solution

The correct option is A concave
Concave mirror forms magnified, virtual and erect image when the person is standing between focus and pole of the mirror, hence, person standing in front of a mirror finds his image larger than himself.


Convex mirror gives diminished image and plane mirror gives image of equal size.
