A
true
B
false
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A plane mirror always forms a virtual image of an object, because the image formed by a plane mirror cannot be obtained on the screen.

Detailed explanation-2: -The virtual image is always erect. The common example of virtual image is the image formed in the mirror when we stand in front of that mirror. A realimage is that image which is formed when the light rays coming from an object actually meet each other after reflection or refraction.

Detailed explanation-3: -The image formed by a plane mirror is always real. Hint: In case of mirrors usually there are three types used. Plain mirror, concave mirror and convex mirror. All will serve different purposes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Convex mirror always produces erect and virtual images. The image formed is diminished, i.e. the size of the image is smaller than the size of the object.

Detailed explanation-5: -A plane mirror always produces a virtual erect image. A plane mirror forms an image the same as that of the object.
