Hey,
When a ray of light passing through the center of curvature of a concave mirror, it gets reflected along the same path after reflection.
Keep in mind that an spherical mirror is actually made up of very small units of plane mirror. So, when a ray falls on centre of curvature. It falls at 90 degree to the mirror. Hence, it makes angle of incidence = 0 deg.
According to the law reflection, angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection. Hence, angle of reflection is also 0.
Therefore, ray of light passing through the center of curvature of a concave mirror gets reflected along the same path after reflection.
