Answer:

Sea

Step-by-step explanation:

Well it isn't so hard first the concrete gets heated a lot because it is in the sun more often, the sand does get heated a lot because the sand that is not in the shade is hot, and the soil get super hot to.But The sea barely gets heated because if you go to California you know that the water is cold even though it is in the sun.Therefor, option C is correct.

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The higher the specific heat capacity of a substance, the higher will be the time taken to heat them.

Here,

Specific heat capacity of Concrete is 880 J/kg°C

Specific heat capacity of water is 4181 J/kg°C

Specific heat capacity of sand is 840 J/kg°C

Specific heat capacity of soil is 1810 J/kg°C

Hence, out of all these water will be heated the least by sun's energy

Hence, option C is correct
