A
Reflected
B
Refracted
C
Absorbed
D
Optical Density
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Reflection is when light bounces off an object. If the surface is smooth and shiny, like glass, water or polished metal, the light will reflect at the same angle as it hit the surface. This is called specular reflection. Light reflects from a smooth surface at the same angle as it hits the surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -Light is reflected at the same angle that it hits the surface. The angle between the incoming light and a line perpendicular to the surface we call the angle of incidence. The angle between the reflected light and a line perpendicular to the surface we call the angle of reflection.

Detailed explanation-3: -A ray of light which bounces off the surface of mirror is called reflected ray.

Detailed explanation-4: -The phenomenon of bouncing back of light in the same medium after striking a surface is called reflection.
