Is it possible to see a virtual image?
A) yes, but only indirectly in the sense that if the virtual image is formed on a sheet of photographic film, one could later look at the picture formed
B) no, since the rays that seem to emanate from a virtual image do not in fact emanate from the image
C) no, since virtual images do not really exist
D) yes, since the rays that appear to emanate from a virtual image can be focused on the retina just like those from an illuminated object
E) yes, since almost everything we see is virtual because most things do not themselves give off light, but only reflect light coming from some other source
