Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Convex Mirror

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: C) Convex Mirror šŸ“š Explanation: Convex mirrors always form virtual, erect, and diminished images of objects placed in front of them. This allows the driver to see a much larger area of traffic behind the vehicle compared to a plane mirror. Although the images appear smaller and further away than they actually are, the increased safety from the wider perspective is more important.
