    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    The ratio between the total solar radiation falling (incident) upon a surface and the amount reflected without heating the earth, is called ALBEDO (expressed as a decimal or as a percentage). The earth's average albedo is about 0.4 (40 percent) ; that is, 4/10 of the solar radiation is reflected back into space.
