it says in my book that it can form real or virtual images depending on the type of mirror i tried copy and past to show u the whole passage but it comes up blocks. but still my question is there. it could have been A or C? why just C. because it clearly states it could be either?

anonymous · Answer

correction it says, " the type of image formed depends on where the object is in relation to the mirror." idk if that makes much of a deference.
