Solution

The correct option is B The torch is a luminous object, and the mirror is a non-luminous object
A torch is a luminous object capable of producing light on its own. Mirror being a non-luminous object is illuminated by the light coming off the torch and reflecting it on Boojho. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
