Solution

The correct option is B 3:15
Remember, an extended object like a clock will form a laterally inverted image in a plane mirror. That is, left and right will be interchanged. So, as the time the image clock shows is 8:45, it will look like:

Hence the real clock would look like:

Hence, the correct time is 3:15.
