Option 1: 2:35

This option is incorrect because in the mirror image, the hour hand is pointing at 9 and the minute hand is pointing at 25, not 35.

Option 2: 3:45

This option is incorrect because in the mirror image, the hour hand is pointing at 9 and the minute hand is pointing at 25, not 45.

Option 3: 9:15

This option is incorrect because in the mirror image, the hour hand is pointing at 9 and the minute hand is pointing at 25, not 15.

Option 4: 9:25

This option is correct. In the mirror image, the hour hand appears to be pointing directly at the 9 and the minute hand appears to be pointing at the 25. Since we are looking at a mirror image, the position of the hour and minute hands are reversed. Therefore, the correct time is 9:25.

Overall, the correct time shown in the mirror image of the clock is 9:25.
