The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Formula
Angle of deviation $\delta = 180^{\circ} - (i + r)$.
Step 2: Reflection Law

For a plane mirror, $i = r$. Given $i = 60^{\circ}$, then $r = 60^{\circ}$.
Step 3: Calculation

$\delta = 180^{\circ} - (60^{\circ} + 60^{\circ}) = 180^{\circ} - 120^{\circ} = 60^{\circ}$.
Final Answer: (c)
