Answer:

The sun shines with equal intensity on a farm field, an asphalt road and the ocean.

So basically asphalt road are heated the most during the day because it absorbs the light and reflects it back as in the case of far it does only absorb the heat as for the ocean it takes a while to heat the entire ocean up.

Asphalt road will be the ones to cool is slower because it has no other component to cool it down.
