C. An image that is larger than the object and is behind the mirror

The correct answer to the question is :C) An image that is larger than the object and is behind the mirror

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the magnification of the image m = 5.2

Hence, the image is magnified i.e the size of image is greater than object size.

The sign of the magnification is positive. As per sign convention rule, the magnification is positive for virtual image and negative for real image. Hence, the image is virtual i.e it is formed behind the mirror.

Hence, the correct statement will be that the image that is larger than the object and is behind the mirror.
