Solution

The correct option is B

concave


Explanation for correct answer

Correct Answer: Option B

  1. In the instance of a shaving mirror, a concave mirror is chosen because it produces a magnified and virtual picture when placed very close to the object.
  2. Concave mirrors create both true and inverted pictures.
  3. Shaving mirrors are utilized to get a closer look at one's face.
  4. The picture will be larger than the item if it is placed between the center of curvature and the focus.

Explanation for incorrect options

Option A: Convex mirrors are not used because they provide a diminished image of the object.

Option C: plane mirrors do not cause any change in the size of the image of an object, so, the image is not magnified.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B) concave lens.
