Solution

The correct option is B Convex mirror
Convex mirrors are commonly used as rear-view mirrors in vehicles because they give erect, virtual and diminished images of distant objects with a wider field of view. Thus, convex mirrors enable the driver to view a much larger area than would be possible with a plane mirror.
