Solution

The correct option is C the diverging rays after reflection from a plane surface appear to diverge from a point behind mirror
Rays coming from an object always diverge away from each other. When these rays are reflected by a plane mirror, they continue to diverge with respect to each other. These light rays appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror.
