Solution

The correct option is D appear to intersect behind the reflecting surface
The parallel rays after falling on convex mirror gets diverged. It is also called as diverging mirror. So, parallel rays will not meet after getting reflected, but, when extended backwards they will appear to meet behind the mirror.
