Solution
The correct option is B mirror Specular reflection or regular reflection is a mirror-like reflection from any surface. The back of a mirror is usually covered with some sort of darkly colored, protective material to stop the silver coating from getting scratched, and also to reduce the risk of any light seeping through from behind. Silver reflects light better than almost anything else and that's because it gives off almost as many light as fall on it in the first place.
