B)the magnification will sometimes have an absolute value greater than 1.
C)the image distance will never be negative.
D)the image will always be virtual.

A convex mirror always forms a virtual image, which means the image is always upright and located behind the mirror. The magnification of a convex mirror is always less than one, so it cannot have an absolute value greater than 1. Additionally, the image distance can be positive or negative depending on the location of the object, but it will never be zero.
