Solution

The correct option is E Convex lens
A mirror cannot form an image on other side of mirror because there is no refraction .
A concave lens always forms an image on the same side of lens because it diverges the rays after refraction so they cannot meet on the other side of lens.
A convex lens can form an image on the other side of lens because it converges the rays after refraction so they can meet on the other side of lens , therefore given lens is convex as image is formed on the other side of the instrument.
