Answer 1

d is the correct option

Answer 2

A) The sunlight heats up the playgound

Step-by-step explanation:

On a sunny day, the sunlight heats the surface of the playground, which will absorb it and reflect it in the form of heat, which makes it warm. On a cloudy day, the clouds act as a barrier for the sunlight, so less of it heats up to the surface, less of it will be absorbed, and less will be reflected. Thus, it will be less warm.
