Option (D)

Explanation:

a concave mirror is called a converging mirror, because when the rays of light falls on it, it converges the path of rays of light falling on it after reflection.

When the rays from the object at infinity and parallel to the principal axis, then after reflection they passes form the focus of the mirror.
