Solution

The correct option is A Laterally
The image formed by a plane mirror is always laterally inverted it is due to the direction that light follows when it strikes the plane mirror.
If an object is placed in front of a plane mirror, then the right side of the object appears to be the left side of the image, and the left side of the object appears to be the right side of its image. This phenomenon is called lateral inversion.
