Select the correct mirror image of the given figure when the mirror is held at…

Concept: When a mirror is placed along one edge of a figure, the reflection is a lateral inversion about that edge — every point maps to the mirrored position across the mirror line, with its distance from that line preserved exactly. So a valid mirror image must reproduce every part of the figure — its outer shapes, its edge markings, and any internal shapes — in exactly the same size and the same position relative to the centre; nothing may shift, enlarge, shrink, rotate, or vanish.

Application:

1. First check the given figure itself for symmetry about the vertical (left-right) axis: the four corner leaf-shapes pair up correctly, and a small rectangular tab sits at the exact centre of every one of the four edges — top, bottom, left, and right.

2. Because the given figure already has this left-right symmetry, its mirror image (reflected about the right-hand edge) must look identical to it — same corner leaves, every tab still centred on its own edge, and the inner circle still sitting exactly in the middle of the inner square.

3. So the correct option is the one where nothing has moved: no tab has drifted away from the centre of its edge, and the inner circle has not shifted off-centre — any such shift means that candidate cannot be the true reflection.

Cross-check: Compare the options point by point rather than at a glance — corner leaves, then all four edge tabs, then the centring of the inner circle. Only the option that matches the given figure on every single point, with every tab centred and the circle perfectly centred, is the correct mirror image.
