Solution

The correct option is D All mirrors irrespective of their shapes
The laws of reflection hold good for all types of mirrors. It states that the angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection. Also, the incident ray, the normal to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence and the reflected ray, all lie in the same plane.
