Solution

The correct option is E Larger, virtual, upright
The point where the image of sun is formed, is the focus of the concave mirror. From figure shown, when the object is placed between the pole and focus of the concave mirror then the mirror forms a virtual, erect (or upright) but larger image of the object. Hence option D is correct.
