In image formation from spherical mirrors, only paraxial rays are considered because they(a) are easy to handle geometrically(b) contain most of the intensity of the incident light(c) form nearly a point image of a point source(d) show minimum dispersion effect

Answer»

(c) form nearly a point image of a point source

EXPLANATION: 

The reflected rays from a point source in a spherical mirror do not meet at a single point. To avoid it, rays close to the principal axis (Paraxial rays) are taken. It forms nearly a point image of a point source.
