Correct answer and explanation
Correct answer: Concave mirror
Explanation: ā Correct Answer: B) Concave mirror š Explanation: A concave mirror has the unique property of forming a virtual, erect, and highly magnified image when an object is placed very close to it. Dentists utilize this feature to get a clearer and larger view of the patient's teeth during examinations. In contrast, convex mirrors are used in vehicles because they provide a wider field of diminished view.
