Solution

The correct option is C Concave mirror
In the question image is formed after reflection. So, “X” must be a mirror.
A plane mirror always forms image which is virtual, erect and of the equal size to the object.
A convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect and diminished image.
Only a concave mirror forms a virtual, erect and magnified image when the object is placed very close to the mirror.
Therefore, “X” is a concave mirror.
