Solution

The answer is C, equal to 2f.

Here's why:

When an object is placed at the center of curvature of a concave mirror, the image is formed at the center of curvature itself. The center of curvature is twice the focal length (2f) from the pole of the mirror. Therefore, the distance between the image and the pole is equal to 2f.
