Solution

The correct option is D a highly diminished inverted image of the tree at the focus of the mirror.
Since the image of distant tree was obtained on the screen, it is clear that the screen was placed at the focus of the mirror.
The image obtained at the focus of concave mirror of a distant object is diminished and inverted.
Hence the student would also observe the same when he replaces the screen with his eyes.
