D Correct answer
Explanation

Convex mirrors are used as rear-view mirrors because they provide a wider field of view by diverging reflected light rays. This allows drivers to see more area behind the vehicle, though objects appear smaller and farther away. Plane mirrors show true size but limited view, concave mirrors magnify but narrow the view, and 'inverted' is not a mirror type.
