A clear reflection of Mount Hood can be seen in Mirror Lake. Surfaces, such as this one, allow for specular reflection. Light can be thought of as a bundle of individual light rays which are traveling parallel to each other. Each individual light ray follows the law of reflection. If the bundle of light rays is incident upon a smooth surface, like Mirror Lake,

The answer is that the light rays will reflect as per the angles that they are falling in.
They slowly diffuse since they have to leave the surface of the water.
For the mirror lake, it will be different since the angle will be entirely different from another one.
Hence, we can’t be sure about the incident or reflection angle.

"The phenomenon due to which a ray of light travelling from one optical medium to another optical medium bounces off from its surface with a change of angle is called reflection of light.
Light can be reflected in various angles so we cannot determine the angle of reflected ray.
Therefore, option D is correct.
i.e., light rays diffuses as they leave the water's surface which were reflected at various angles."
