Detailed Solution

Concept: Understanding the reflection principle is crucial to finding the answer to this puzzle. After striking a flat, shiny surface and returning to the same medium, reflection is the change in direction of the light beam.
When an incident ray contacts a reflecting surface normally, the reflected ray will trace back to the initial ray.
As a result, the angle between the incident and reflected rays is 0o.
Hence, option 4 is correct.
