Solution

The correct option is A mirror
Light enables us to see objects around us. We see an object, when light falls on it and gets reflected from the surface. The reflecting surface can be smooth or rough. If the reflecting surface is smooth and shiny, which reflects the light rays that fall on it, is called a mirror.
