Based on the law of reflection, the most accurate response regarding the illustration is:

The angle created by S and T is equal to the angle formed by T and U.

This statement reflects the principle that the angle of incidence (angle S) is equal to the angle of reflection (angle U) relative to the normal line (point T). The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection when light strikes a reflective surface.
