Solution

The correct option is A +ve and ve respectively
Magnification is the ratio of height of image and object.
m=hiho
And by convention, height of image formed below principal axis is taken negative and above is taken positive.

Hence,
  • for erect image, m=+ve
  • for inverted image m=ve.

Answer is option (A).
