Solution

The correct option is A It will decrease
If the angle between the mirror and the incident ray increases, the angle of incidence will decrease accordingly.
And if angle of incidence will decrease, angle of reflection will also decrease.
As we know from laws of reflection, angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.
