Answer:

C is the correct answer I believe

Step-by-step explanation:

Without the Sun , Earth's land, water, and air would all be frozen. Energy is transferred from the sun to Earth via electromagnetic waves, or radiation

Energy is transferred between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere in a variety of ways, including radiation, conduction, and convection.
