Reflection over a smooth surfaces such as mirrors or water leads to a type of reflection called specular reflection. Reflection over rough surfaces such as clothing, paper etc. leads to a type of reflection called diffuse reflection.
Therefore,

Specular Reflection occurs when light falls on a smooth mirror.
So the right answer is :
A). Specular reflection.
