Solution

The correct option is B
Concave mirror

Real images can be formed only when the lights rays after reflection meet at a point. In the case of a plane mirror and convex mirror, light rays do not converge after reflection, so they cannot form real images. In the case of the concave mirror, light rays can converge after reflection, so they can form a real image.
