Which option about the property of image formed by a plane mirror is not possible?

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

A plane mirror always forms an image with unit transverse magnification, so the image is the same size as the object, i.e. option (C) is true.

It reverses only the direction normal to the mirror (front-back reversal), so the image is erect in the transverse sense (A true); if ‘inverted’ is taken to mean that front-back reversal, (B) is true in that sense.

The one property that is not possible is a magnified image, so the answer is (D).
