Lateral inversion in a plane mirror means:
AThe image is inverted top-to-bottom
BUp appears as down
CLeft appears as right (and vice versa)
DThe image becomes coloured
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Left appears as right (and vice versa)

2. For a person facing the mirror, this swaps left and right.
3. Top and bottom remain in their original orientations.
