Solution

The correct option is D Convex mirror
A rear view mirror is present on motor vehicles for the purpose of enhancing the driver's peripheral vision. A convex mirror is a diverging mirror and has a wider field of view. Concave mirror or converging mirror decreases the field of view and forms an inverted image based on the distance between the object and the mirror.
