Solution

The correct option is B Convex
The type of mirror used in the rear-view mirror must be convex mirrors, because it creates smaller, yet still upright images. Concave mirrors would create an inverted image and the cars you see are not upside down. Convex mirrors make everything smaller so this allows us to see a greater range of things behind while sitting in the car.
The plane mirror forms images of objects of the same size and covers less area as compared to the convex mirror.
