Solution
Initially, the screen was placed beyond the focus to capture the image of the candle flame placed at a finite distance from the mirror. So, in order to capture a bright image of the Sun (at infinity) on the screen, the student should move the mirror towards the screen.
Hence, the correct option is B.
