    A. is covered by trees

    Explanation:

    The albedo is a measure of the reflectivity of the surface and thus is applied to the earth as a measure of the earth's energy potential when reflecting into space that has cooling impacts on the earth landscape. Thus the albedo of the land's surface is the function of the impact so the climate and the weather patterns on earth are like the earth's terrain is uneven so is the impact of the reflected from the surface as he white and the open places have a high albedo capacity as compared to the areas which are overt and are dense and dark. Due to the trees are scattered and tends to absorb the light that is emitted and they also have a great heat-absorbing capacity. The albedo of the coniferous trees is about 0.09 to 0.15, whereas that of the deciduous trees about of 0.15 to 0.18, hence is the lowest.
