Solution

The correct option is A

True


A convex mirror is a divergent mirror and a concave mirror is a convergent mirror.

Convex mirrors are called diverging mirrors because they diverge rays of light that hit them and form a virtual image.

Concave mirrors are called converging mirrors because they bring incoming parallel rays together and cause these rays to converge.
