If a mirror is placed along line LM, which answer figure is the correct mirror image of the given question figure?

Attempted by 211 students.
Show answer & explanation
Mirror rule: A vertical mirror along LM reverses left and right, while top and bottom positions remain unchanged.
In the original figure:
The top bent/slanting segment extends towards the right.
The internal diagonal runs from the left side towards the lower-right side.
After reflection:
The top bent/slanting segment must extend towards the left.
The internal diagonal must reverse and run from the right side towards the lower-left side.
Only option B shows both features correctly reversed. Therefore, option B is the correct mirror image.
