    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Diathermanous body is a body which transmits all the incident radiation without absorbing or reflecting.
    (A body with transmitivity 1, reflectivity 0 and absorptivity 0) Air, up to certain extent can be considered as the diathermanous body because, it transmits all the radiation without hearing itself.
