The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Albedo**: Albedo is a term used in ecology and environmental science to describe the reflectivity of a surface. It is a measure of how much light that hits a surface is reflected without being absorbed. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The question provides three options regarding what albedo measures: - A) Absorbed by an object surface - B) Converted into sugar by photosynthesis - C) Reflected by surface or atmosphere 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - Option A (absorbed by an object surface) refers to the light that is taken in by the surface, which is not what albedo measures. - Option B (converted into sugar by photosynthesis) pertains to the process of photosynthesis and does not relate to the concept of albedo. - Option C (reflected by surface or atmosphere) correctly describes albedo as it measures the percentage of light that is reflected off a surface. 4. **Conclusion**: Since albedo specifically measures the reflectivity of a surface, the correct answer is Option C: "reflected by surface." 5. **Final Answer**: The correct option is C) reflected by surface. ---
