If you raise your RIGHT hand while looking into a plane mirror, the image appears to raise its:
ARight hand
BNeither hand
CLeft hand
DBoth hands
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Left hand
This is lateral inversion. The mirror swaps left and right (along the horizontal axis perpendicular to the mirror). So your right hand looks like the image's left hand, and vice versa. (The vertical orientation — up and down — stays the same.)
