Verified by Toppr

Image formed by a plane mirror is always virtual, erect, laterally inverted (sideways inverted) with unit magnification.
ex: When you stand in front of a plane mirror by keeping a bag in right hand, Your image in the mirror will look same size, erect but the bag will appear in your left hand, this inversion is known as lateral inversion.
Hence all given option is correct.
