Answer:

B) the law of reflection

Step-by-step explanation:

When a light ray reflects off a surface, it obeys the law of reflection.

A few definitions before giving the law of reflection:

- The angle of incidence is defined as the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the surface

- The angle of reflection is defined as the angle between the reflected ray and the normal to the surface

The law of reflection states that:

- The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection

- The incident ray and the reflected ray lie both on the same plane.
