  • A. I, II and III
  • B. Only I
  • C. Only I and III
  • D. Only I and II
Correct Answer: Option A - All of the given statements are correct. The centre of curvature of a spherical mirror is defined as the centre of the sphere of which the spherical mirror is a part. In other words, it is the centre of the sphere from which the spherical mirror is sliced.
