Solution

The correct options are
A Virtual image
B Erect Image
Since we know that for an image to be obtained on a screen, rays should intersect on the screen but a virtual image is formed by rays that do not meet. Hence it is not possible to obtain a virtual image on a screen. We can also observe from all the virtual images formed, that they are always erect.
