If your image looks erect in a mirror, no matter how far away you stand from the mirror, the mirror could be :

  1. A.plane
  2. B.concave
  3. C.convex
  4. D.either plane or convex✓ Correct

Explanation

A plane mirror always forms an erect, virtual image of the same size, irrespective of the object's distance. A convex mirror also always forms an erect, virtual, diminished image for any object position. A concave mirror produces an erect image only when the object is within its focal length; beyond that, the image becomes inverted. Therefore if the image looks erect regardless of distance, the mirror must be either plane or convex.
