(D) virtual and larger than the object.

Explanation

Concave mirror is spherical mirror which has its reflecting surface bulging inwards

. The focal length of a mirror is the distance between the pole of the mirror and a point where all the reflected rays merge,The focal point and the centre of curvature of the concave mirror lie in front of the mirror

so,if an object is located between the focal point and a concave mirror we can use the ray diagram to check this,

.

, the image produced will be virtual , and longer than the object

so, the answer is

(D) virtual and larger than the object.

I hope this helps you
