Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation: The lights that is incident on a mirror will be reflected back as it is a smooth surface and it reflects back the light.

the light will be reflected by the same angle as it was incidented. The angle of incidence can be defined as the angle by which the light ray falls on the surface of the mirror.

The angle by which the light reflects back is known as the angle of reflection. Being a smooth surface light ray is reflected back.
