Solution

The correct options are
A It has a smooth surface.
B It can reflect light.
A plane mirror has a smooth surface. A mirror is a glass, coated with silver on any one side. It reflects all the light falling on it. It always forms a virtual and erect image. Since the mirror reflects all the light directed towards it, and does not allow light to pass through it, mirror acts as an opaque object.
