Correct option: C
Solution
A flat mirror forms a virtual, erect image of the same size as the object, placed as far behind the mirror as the object is in front. The image is also laterally inverted (left-right reversed). So among the listed options, B (erect) and D (laterally inverted) are both correct properties, making option 3 the right choice.
