Which of the following letters of the Alphabet change(s), when viewed through a mirror?

(D) T
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
When a letter is viewed through a mirror, it appears as a horizontally flipped reflection. Letters that have vertical symmetry remain unchanged, while letters without vertical symmetry appear different.
Analyzing letter W:
W has vertical line symmetry (symmetric about a vertical axis through its center).
When reflected in a mirror, W appears identical to its original form.
W does NOT change.
Analyzing letter N:
N does NOT have vertical line symmetry.
When reflected in a mirror, the diagonal stroke that goes from bottom-left to top-right would appear to go from bottom-right to top-left.
The mirror image of N is reversed and appears different.
N CHANGES.
Analyzing letter S:
S does NOT have vertical line symmetry.
When reflected in a mirror, the curves flip horizontally and the letter appears backwards.
The mirror image of S is reversed and appears different.
S CHANGES.
Analyzing letter T:
T has vertical line symmetry (symmetric about the vertical line through its center).
When reflected in a mirror, T appears identical to its original form.
T does NOT change.
The letters that change when viewed through a mirror are N and S, which correspond to (B) and (C).
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1: (B) and (C) only.
