Use Lumen Reflections, which supports Screen / Software / Hardware Ray Tracing together and integrates with Lumen Global Illumination for rough reflections and Global Illumination seen in reflections. 2 - SSR. Standalone Screen Space Reflections. Low cost, but limited by screen space information. 3 - RT Reflections. Ray Traced Reflections technique. Deprecated, use Lumen Reflections instead.
