Solution
The correct option is C The above ray diagram is the correct formation of an image. You can see on the left hand side of the mirror, the rays are going away from each other, that means their meeting point is inside or on the right hand side of the mirror. So by extending the rays inside the mirror, we get the image to be at the same distance and height as the object. The image is virtual as it is inside the mirror.
