Solution

The correct option is A Shaving mirrors
Convex mirror has a wide field of view and forms a virtual diminished image. For shaving we need an enlarged image, so a convex mirror would not be an appropriate choice.
Convex mirrors are widely used as a rear view mirror in vehicles and at turns in corrodors. They are also used in sunglasses to reflect away the sunlight.
