Solution
The correct option is B Virtual image
RealImages are images which can be obtained on the screen. They are formed when light rays after getting reflected from a mirror actually meet at a point.
VirtualImages are images which can only be seen in a mirror but cannot be obtained on the screen. They are formed when light rays after getting reflected from a mirror appear to meet at a point. Hence, the correct answer is OPTION B.
