• B. Concave
• C. convex
• D. either a or c

Answer 1

The correct option is C

convex

The explanation for the correct option: (C)

1. Convex mirror:
   1. The image produced is always erect and virtual.
   2. It is diminished and located behind the mirror.

The explanation for incorrect options:

1. Plane mirror :
   1. It also produces a virtually erect image for all positions of the object
   2. But it is not a spherical mirror as mentioned in the question
2. Concave mirror:
   1. It can produce a virtually erect image only if the object is between focus and pole.
   2. For all other positions of objects, it produces a real and inverted image.

Thus the correct option is (C)
