Solution

The correct option is C Convex mirror
A diminished virtual image can be formed only in a convex mirror because of its diverging nature. Any ray that passes through it does not converge in reality. It always appears to converge at a point when reflected rays are backtraced, hence giving rise to a diminished virtual image. Therefore, option C is correct.
