The true statement about the law of reflection is:

The angle of reflected light is the same as the incoming angle of light.

According to the law of reflection, when light strikes a reflective surface, the angle at which it hits the surface (the angle of incidence) is equal to the angle at which it reflects off the surface (the angle of reflection). Both angles are measured from the normal, which is an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence.
