Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
Answer is D.
Magnification is defined as $m = \frac{h e i g h t o f i m a g e}{h e i g h t o f o b j e c t}$

A concave mirror forms real, diminished images, virtual images, real enlarged images as well as real image of same size.
So, the magnification can be less than 1, more than 1 or equal to 1.

Hence, all the given options are correct.
