- c.virtual and erect.
- d.real and inverted.
Answer: (C) virtual and erect.
A plane mirror forms a virtual image (cannot be projected on a screen) that is erect (same orientation as the object) and laterally inverted (left-right reversed). The image is the same size as the object and appears to be as far behind the mirror as the object is in front.
