Solution

The correct option is D Inner - concave; Outer - convex
A spherical mirror is a mirror with a curved reflecting surface. The surface may be either convex (bulging outward) or concave (bulging inward). The inner surface of a spoon acts as a concave mirror and the outer surface of the spoon acts as a convex mirror.
