Solution

The correct option is A
plane

Explanation of the Correct Options
The solar cooker is a device that converts solar energy into electricity.
Plane mirrors are used in solar cookers so that a stronger beam of light can be produced after reflection from the plane mirror.
This strong beam of light is then absorbed by the black surface inside the box.
Thus, a plane mirror is used as a reflector in a box-type solar cooker.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
