Answer:

b. The reflected rays appear pass through the focal point.

Step-by-step explanation:

A convex mirror has a glass bulging outwards. A convex mirror is a divergent mirror. Light rays incident on a convex mirror parallel to its principal axis after reflection appear to diverge from the focal point. convex mirrors can not be used to focus light.

Thus, the correct option is b.
