Question
Mirrors on the outside of the passenger side of cars often contain a message that says something like, "Objects are closer than they appear." In other words, the image seen in the mirror, although looking like the objects in other respects, appear to be further away than they actually are, because the images are smaller than the objects.
What kind of mirror is being used in this case?

Solution
The correct option is B Convex mirror
The mirror used is a convex mirror.
Since it forms virtual and 'diminished' images, the objects appear to be distant in the mirror than they actually are.Also the outward curvature of the mirror makes it cover more area to view.
