Solution

The correct option is C virtual and erect
If the reflected rays are extended behind the mirror, then their intersection gives the location of the image behind the mirror. For a convex mirror, the image is diverging, virtual and upright and is formed behind the mirror.
Hence, if image is formed behind the mirror, it is virtual and erect.
