Solution

The correct option is C
Convex

Convex mirrors have very wide field of view as they are curved outwards. So, the convex mirrors enable the driver to view much larger area than a plane mirror. The images produced are erect and their size is much smaller than the object. Hence, it is used as a rear view mirror in automobiles to see objects at the backside of the vehicle.
