Solution

The correct option is A True
When two plane mirrors are kept parallel to each other, an infinite number of images are formed.
We can assure this with the formula for multiple reflections.
I.e., N = 360θ−1
3. For parallel mirrors, θ = 0.
4. Therefore, N = (3600)−1 which is taken as infinite.
Hence the above statement is true.
