Solution

The correct option is B
Convex

In convex mirrors light rays from a point always gets diverged (they don't meet at any point). So we have to extend them behind the mirror so that they appear to meet. Since the image is formed behind of mirror, they cant be received on screen. So it is not the real image. Thus it is a virtual image
