Answer 1

The correct option is A

as a rear view mirror in vehicles

Convex Mirror:

1. Convex Mirror is a curved mirror where the reflective surface bulges out toward the light source.
2. Convex mirrors are widely used as rear-view mirrors in automobiles and vehicles because they can diverge light beams and make virtual images.
3. We prefer a convex mirror as a rear-view mirror in vehicles because it gives a wider field of view, which allows the driver to see most of the traffic behind him

Thus, the correct option is option A.
