Solution

The correct option is C Virtual, erect and at the same distance as that from the object.
A plane mirror always forms a virtual image as the image can't be formed on a screen. The image formed is always erect as inferred from real-life experience or from a ray diagram. From the ray diagram, it can be inferred that a plane mirror forms the image at a distance which is same as that of the object's distance from the mirror.
