Answer: e. none of the above

Explanation:

Diffuse reflection occurs when the irregularities of the medium or surface on which the light rays strike are of an order of magnitude comparable to the size of the wavelength of the incident light and several rays are projected on it.

This means this phenomenom causes the rays to be reflected in different directions intersecting each other.

Therefore, the only correct option is e.
