A) Image formed by a plane mirror

A plane mirror forms an image that can be obtained on the screen. The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, upright, and laterally inverted (left-right reversed), but it can be seen on a screen if you place the screen behind the mirror. This is how mirrors in bathrooms, dressing rooms, and other places work – they reflect an image that can be seen by the person looking into the mirror.

B) Image formed by a concave mirror

A concave mirror can also form an image that can be obtained on a screen. Depending on the position of the object, a concave mirror can produce real or virtual, inverted or upright, and magnified or diminished images. By placing a screen at the appropriate location where the reflected rays converge, you can capture the image formed by a concave mirror.

C) Image formed by a convex mirror

A convex mirror forms virtual, diminished, and upright images. These images cannot be obtained on a screen because the reflected rays diverge instead of converging. Therefore, you cannot capture the image formed by a convex mirror on a screen.

So, the correct answer is:

D) None of the above
