Final answer:
The image seen in a magnifying cosmetic mirror is virtual, upright, and magnified, which means it is not real but a perception of light rays that appear to come from a point behind the mirror.
Step-by-step explanation:
When you look into a magnifying cosmetic mirror and see an upright magnified image of your face, the image is virtual, upright, and magnified. This is option d from the choices provided. A virtual image is formed by a concave mirror when the object is placed between the focal point and the mirror, and it appears behind the mirror where the light rays do not actually converge.
This virtual image is upright and larger than the object, which corresponds to the effect of a cosmetic mirror that magnifies your reflection.
A real image, by contrast, is formed when the object is placed outside the focal length of a concave mirror, and it is inverted and smaller or larger than the object depending on the distance from the mirror. It can be projected onto a screen, whereas a virtual image cannot be projected since the light rays do not actually converge.
