Solution

The correct option is D A convex mirror

A convex mirror always forms a diminished image of an object, irrespective of the object position and size.

Since a mirror should be small, a plane mirror cannot form the full image. It forms an image of the same size as that of the object.

Concave mirror forms enlarged virtual image of an object, hence, it can not form a full image of a tall building.
