Solution

The correct option is D Concave
Concave mirrors are used in headlights of cars. When a lighted bulb is placed at the focus of a concave reflector, then the concave reflector collects all the diverging rays of the bulb and converts them into a powerful beam of light rays that can reach a large distance in the darkness of night and make us see things up to a considerable distance.
