Solution

The correct option is C
Rear-view mirror

A concave mirror is not used as a rear-view mirror as it does not always form a virtual image of the object. On the other hand, the property of a convex mirror to form a virtual and relatively smaller image with a larger field of view makes it feasible to be used as rear-view mirrors.
