Solution

The correct option is C A plane mirror
  • A wooden board is an opaque object but has no reflective surface, i.e. most of the light will be absorbed by the surface or will be reflected in any direction.
  • A glass sheet is a transparent object hence, all the light will pass through it, rather than getting reflected from it.
  • White paper is a translucent object, i.e. it allows light to partially pass through it, and the remaining light will be reflected in different directions.
  • A mirror is an opaque object and has a reflective surface, hence, it reflects almost all the light that hits it. Therefore, mirror is the correct answer.
