Select the correct mirror image of the given figure when the mirror is placed at MN as shown below.

To find the correct mirror image of the given combination of letters and numbers when the mirror is placed vertically at the line MN (to the right of the figure), we need to apply the rules of lateral inversion:

1. Left-Right Reversal (Lateral Inversion): In a vertical mirror, the left side of the object appears on the right side of the image, and the right side of the object appears on the left side of the image.
2. Order Reversal: The character closest to the mirror (on the extreme right, which is '2') will appear closest to the mirror in the image (on the extreme left). The character farthest from the mirror (on the extreme left, which is 'M') will appear farthest in the image (on the extreme right). Therefore, the sequence from left to right in the mirror image will correspond to the reversed order: '2', then '5', then 'a', then 'g', then 'r', then 'e', and finally 'M'.
3. Individual Character Flipping: Each character itself undergoes horizontal flipping:

• '2' is horizontally inverted to face left.
• '5' is horizontally inverted.
• 'a' is horizontally inverted.
• 'g' is horizontally inverted.
• 'r' is horizontally inverted.
• 'e' is horizontally inverted.
• 'M' is vertically symmetric, so its lateral inversion looks identical to 'M'.

Comparing this with the given options, the image that matches all these inverted and reversed properties is:
