Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

An albedo can be defined as portion of sunlight that is reflected back into the atmosphere without being absorbed.

The substance that will have the highest albedo value will absorbs less and will reflect most of the light falling on it.

The substance having the lowest albedo will absorb most of the lights falling on it. Example a black sheet of paper will absorb most of the light falling on it.
