According to the fundamental principles of thermal radiation (Kirchhoff's Law), good absorbers of heat are:

  1. A
    Poor emitters
  2. B
    Non emitters
  3. C
    Good emitters
  4. D
    Highly polished

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

According to Kirchhoff's Law of thermal radiation, for any body in thermal equilibrium, the ratio of its emissive power to its absorptive power is constant and equal to the emissive power of a perfect blackbody. Simply put, good absorbers of heat are naturally good emitters of heat.
