Correct Answer

D

Explanation

The options that do not describe the image formed by a plane mirror are:

1. Enlarged: A plane mirror does not produce an enlarged image. The image formed in a plane mirror is of the same size as the object.

2. Inverted: A plane mirror does not invert the image. The image formed in a plane mirror is laterally inverted, meaning left and right are switched, but it is not vertically inverted.

3. Real: A plane mirror does not produce a real image. The image formed in a plane mirror is virtual, meaning it cannot be projected onto a screen.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Real."
