C Correct answer
Explanation

Convex mirrors provide a wider field of view than flat or concave mirrors, allowing drivers to see more area and detect approaching vehicles from the sides. The curved surface creates a slightly reduced image but covers a much larger viewing area, which is crucial for safety. Concave mirrors magnify but have narrow fields.
