Solution

The correct option is B
The mirror should absorb any light.

A mirror is made by silvering one side of a thin sheet of glass. The silvering ensures that the light does not get transmitted. An ideal and sharp image can only be formed by a good mirror. A good mirror must reflect the whole light falling on it. It should not absorb any light and it should not transmit any light.
