Solution

The correct option is A
Convex

Convex mirrors are commonly used as rear-view mirrors in vehicles as they give an erect, virtual, full size diminished image of distant objects with a wider field of view. Thus, convex mirrors enable the driver to view a much larger area than that would have been possible with a plane mirror.
