Solution

The correct option is D

Convex mirror


  1. The convex mirror is preferred as a rear-view mirror in cars and other vehicles because it gives a wider field of view.
  2. This helps the driver to see the traffic behind him and for safe driving.
  3. The nature of the image in convex mirrors is, that it always forms a virtual, erect, and diminished image of the objects placed in front of it.

Hence, option D is correct.
