Solution
The correct option is A Due to lateral inversion
In a plane mirror, each point on the image is as far behind the mirror plane as the corresponding point on the object is in front. So, the image of an object is reversed in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the mirror. Therefore, the concept is called as Lateral inversion. It is the apparent reversal of left and right that we often see in a plane mirror image. Due to this lateral inversion, it is difficult to read the image of a text page formed due to reflection by a plane mirror.
