Answer:

(d) convex mirror and plane mirror

Step-by-step explanation:

A plane mirror forms an image that is : virtual { behind the mirror } , image and object are at the same distance from the flat mirror, image is upright and image size is the same as object size. Tom's image.

A concave mirror form both real and virtual images. When a concave mirror is very near to an object , the image is virtual and magnified. When the distance between object and mirror is increased, a real image is formed and the size is reduced.

In a convex mirror, the image formed is smaller than the object, it is upright and is located behind the mirror. The image is virtual. John's image.
