Solution

The correct option is B

Concave mirror


The explanation for the correct option:

In the case of option B (concave mirror),

  1. Depending on the position of the item upon that primary axis, concave mirrors generate actual as well as virtual, upright and inverted, decreased same-sized and amplified images. When an object is in between the focus and the pole of such a concave mirror, it creates a virtual and magnified picture.
  2. Only such a concave mirror, as well as a convex lens, could produce an expanded picture of an item.
  3. Even though a convex mirror, as well as a concave lens, constantly produces a distorted image of an item.

The explanation for the incorrect options:

In the case of option C (convex mirror),

A convex mirror consistently produces an image that is smaller than the object.

In the case of option D (plane mirror),

A plane mirror produces an image that is the same dimensions as the item.

In the case of option A (convex lens),

The convex mirror has the same feature as the concave lens.

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
