Solution

The correct option is D Convex mirror
In convex mirrors the light after falling on the surface diverges ( for rays coming from the objects far from the mirror). Hence, the objects appear smaller and closer which provides essential information to the driver of the vehicle as he gets a better picture of the vehicles behind him. Also, convex mirror has larger field of view.
