Solution

The correct option is C Virtual, erect and at the same distance from the object.
A plane mirror always forms a virtual image as the image formed can't be formed on a screen.
Also, the image formed is always erect and not inverted as can be inferred from real- life experiences or from ray diagram formation. Also a plane mirror forms image at a distance same as the object.
