Answer:
D. The reflected light appears to come from there. This is often indicated with dotted apparent light lines.
Explanation:
The image lies behind the mirror, so this is a virtual image (the image seen by looking at the front reflective side of a mirror). A virtual image is formed where the reflected light appeared to come from. When you are looking at a reflection in a mirror, your brain is tricked into thinking that the light originated behind the mirror. Your brain cannot tell that the light was reflected and changed directions. The perceived path is extended from the light that you see (the reflected light), and that path is what the dotted apparent light lines indicate. The result is that the light bulb appears to be there, behind the mirror, when in reality, it is not. The image, with reflected and apparent light lines also visible, is shown below.
