Answer:

It is virtual and behind the mirror

Step-by-step explanation:

When an image is produced by a mirror, we have the following situations:

- The image is said to be in front of the mirror if it is on the same side of the object, with respect to the mirror

- The image is said to be behind of the mirror if it is on the opposite side of the object, with respect to the mirror

Moreover:

- The image is said to be real if it is in front of the mirror

- The image is said to be virtual if it is behind the mirror

In this case, the image (located at point I) is on the opposite side of the object (located at point O), so it is virtual and behind the mirror.
