Explanation

Statement A is true because section 11.6 clearly states that there is lateral inversion in images formed by a plane mirror - left appears right and right appears left. Statement B is false because while the alphabet O is symmetrical and appears identical in the mirror, the alphabet T is not symmetrical horizontally. When viewed in a mirror, T appears laterally inverted (the horizontal line of T would appear flipped), so it does not appear identical to itself. Only symmetrical letters like O appear identical in a mirror image.
