Solution

The correct option is B convex mirror
Convex mirror is also known as diverging mirror, as this mirror diverges light when they strike on its reflecting surface. In convex mirror, virtual, erect and diminished images are formed irrespective of the distance between the object and the mirror. Because of this property, it is used as a rear view mirror in vehicles.
