The correct description of the type of image formed by a plane mirror is:
**It is a copy of an object and appears to be coming from behind the mirror.**
In a plane mirror, the image is virtual, meaning it cannot be projected onto a screen, and it appears to be located behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of it. The image is also the same size as the object and is laterally inverted (left and right are reversed).
