Answer for screen readers
The assertion is true. A plane mirror forms virtual and erect images for any real object placed in front of it.
More Information
A plane mirror always forms a virtual image because the image cannot be projected onto a screen and it appears behind the mirror. This image is also erect, meaning it maintains the same orientation as the object.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming that the orientation of the image is inverted in some way; it is always erect in a plane mirror.
