Answer: radiated heat fron the Sun being absorbed by the ground.

Explanation: During the day the Sun is "shining", this means that the sun is "emanating" electromagnetic waves (some in form of visible light, this is why in the day we can see a lot of light) that reach us in the Earth. Those electromagnetic waves carry with a lot of energy, and when they impact the ground, they transmit that energy in form of heat. This "transmission" of temperature is called "radiation", so the correct option is the third one; radiated heat from the Sun is absorbed by the ground.
