Correct Answer

A

Explanation

The statement (i) "It can be observed on a screen" is applicable to a real image formed by a concave mirror. When an object is placed in front of a concave mirror, a real image is formed that can be projected onto a screen or a surface. This real image is formed by the convergence of rays of light and is typically inverted and located in front of the mirror. So, statement (ii) is also applicable. However, statement (iii) "It only seems to exit" is not applicable, as a real image is a physical image formed by the actual convergence of light rays.
