Let’s look at each options one by one

• Real images are produced on a screen , virtual images are formed behind the screen.
  So, Option (A) is correct
  
  
• For a convex lens , virtual image is formed when object is between O ptical center and F ocus.
  
  
  A concave lens always forms virtual images.
  So, Option (B) is correct
  
  
• Virtual images are always erect .
  So, Option (C) is correct
  
  
• But, virtual images are not inverted .
  But option (D) is incorrect  

Thus, (A), (B) and (C)  are correct
