Answer
(i)
Reason — The radius of a sphere of which the spherical mirror is a part is called the radius of curvature.
The geometric centre of the spherical surface of a mirror is called the pole of the mirror.
Principal axis is the straight line joining the pole of the mirror to its centre of curvature.
