Question
A reflecting telescope utilizes

Answer

(a) Unlike convex mirrors, concave mirrors show different image types depending on the distance between the object and the mirror. That is why a reflecting telescope utilizes a concave mirror. If you observe the design of a reflecting telescope, it uses the incoming rays to focus through a concave mirror to focus on the second mirror which in turn sends the rays to the eye-piece. So, the concave mirror is intrinsic to the design of a reflecting telescope.
