Solution

The correct option is B
Size of the image decreases

As the object is moved away from a convex mirror, the distance of virtual image (formed behind the mirror) from the mirror increases (between pole and focus), the image shifts from the pole towards the focus and the size of the image gradually decreases. When the object is at infinity, the image is at its focus. The image always becomes erect and virtual.
