Julio Chapman · Answer 1

The answer is the last choice, c hanging the doghouse roof from a light color to a dark color

Dark color has greater coefficient of absorptance or absorbing power than shiny color or material. Substances or materials with greater absorbing power are good at absorbing radiations. Thus, option D is correct.
