Solution

The correct options are
B

A concave mirror only forms a real image


D

A concave mirror always forms a diminished image of a real object


A concave mirror can form both real and virtual image as well as a diminished and magnified image of an object.

Only when the object is placed between F and P, it forms a virtual and erect image behind the mirror. In other object positions beyond F, it forms real and inverted images.
