{'spherical mirror': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'plane mirror': [0, 0, 0, 7], 'parabolic mirror': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'spoon': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'lens': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 3: Plane mirror.

A plane mirror is a flat, smooth surface that reflects light according to the law of reflection. It does not have any curvature and therefore does not distort the reflection. When you look at yourself in a plane mirror, the image you see is laterally inverted, meaning the left side of your body appears on the right side in the mirror and vice versa.

Option 1: Spherical mirror would not be an accurate option because a non-spherical spoon does not have the shape of a sphere.

Option 2: Parabolic mirror also would not be an accurate option because a non-spherical spoon does not have the shape of a parabola.

Option 4: Lens is used to refract light, not reflect it. Therefore, a non-spherical spoon cannot be considered a lens.

To summarize, a non-spherical shining spoon can be best considered as a plane mirror.
