True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mirror writing can also be a common indicator of dyslexia in students. However, it is important to know that not all students with dyslexia struggle with mirror writing. Another possible cause is visual processing issues.

Detailed explanation-2: -This is ‘mirror-writing’ – reversed writing that looks normal when viewed in a mirror; like the sign on the front of an ambulance. Since Western scripts typically run from left to right, this reversed form is also known as levography (Critchley, 1928) or sinistrad writing (Streifler & Hofman, 1976).

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, it becomes clear that certainty as to right or left-handedness is not a characteristic of Dyslexia.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mirror writing is an unusual script, in which the writing runs in the opposite direction to normal, with individual letters reversed, so that it is most easily read using a mirror.
