(c) True

The image formed by a concave mirror can be real or virtual, enlarged or diminished, and erect or inverted, depending upon the distance of the object from the mirror.

(d) False

The image that can be obtained on a screen is called a real image. Virtual images cannot be obtained on a screen.
