Solution

The correct option is B False
A concave mirror also forms a virtual image when the object is kept between the focus and the pole of the mirror.
In all the other cases, image formed by a concave mirror is real.
Hence, a concave mirror forms both real and virtual image depending on the position of the object on the principal axis.
Hence, the correct answer is OPTION B.
