Solution

The correct option is A The image is diminished.
Considering an extended object $A B$ in front of a plane mirror.

The image $A^{'} B^{'}$ is virtual, erect and of the same size as that of the object. In such case, both image distance and object distance from the plane mirror will be equal.
Hence, option $(a)$ is the correct answer.
