Solution

The correct option is C Irregular
Irregular or diffused reflection takes place from an irregular surface. In diffused reflection, the reflected rays are not parallel to each other for parallel incident rays. This happens because of the presence of microscopic irregularities on surfaces. Hence, parallel incident rays reflect in different directions and do not remain parallel after reflection.
