Model Answer

(C) Virtual, erect and enlarged

When an object is placed between the pole (P) and the principal focus (F) of a concave mirror, the image formed is virtual, erect and enlarged.

Source: Light – Reflection and Refraction, Table 9.1

Explanation

Table 9.1 in the textbook clearly states: when the object is placed between P and F, the image is formed behind the mirror, is enlarged, and is virtual and erect. This is also the principle behind concave mirrors used as shaving/makeup mirrors. Examiners expect you to recall this directly from the table.
