    2) primary mirror

    Explanation:

    A reflecting telescope contains mirrors and a refracting telescope contains lenses. There are two mirrors in basic reflecting telescope. The primary mirror gathers the light from the bodies at distance and reflects it towards the secondary mirror. The secondary mirror is placed at such an angle that it then reflects the light towards the eye piece and we can observe the faraway body.
