Answer:

Real, inverted, and smaller than the object

Explanation:

This is one of the case when an object is located beyond the center of curvature. The image formed by the mirror is shown in attached figure as :

From the figure, AB is the object and A'B' is the formed image. The object is placed beyond the center of curvature of the mirror. It is clear that the formed image is real and inverted. The size of image is smaller as compared to the object. Also, the image is formed between F and C.

Hence, the correct option is (A) " Real, inverted, and smaller than the object ".
