Solution

The correct options are
A
Light is reflected in different directions.

B
It occurs on a rough surface.

In diffused reflection, light is reflected as per the texture of the reflective surface. On a rough surface, light is reflected in different directions because normal at each point is different.
Example: Reflection at rough surfaces such as cloth, paper, asphalt road etc leads to diffused reflection.
