Solution

The correct option is
D

Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection.

According to the laws of reflection,
The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection and it is generally denoted as $θ$ .
The second law states that angle of incidence and reflection, reflected and incident ray, normal all lie in the same plane
