Solution

The correct option is B False
Diffused reflection takes place from an unpolished surface. Such surfaces have irregularity at microscopic level and that implies that for each point over those surfaces, there is an arbitrary direction of the normal. However, laws of reflection hold true whenever reflection takes place for all points. Because of variations of normal, reflected rays are directed in different directions as shown in the given figure.
