On a clear sunny day,an object at temperature $T$ is placed on the top of a high mountain. An identical object at the same temperature is placed at the foot of the mountain. If both the objects are exposed to sun-rays for two hours in an identical manner,the object at the top of the mountain will register a temperature

  • A
    Higher than the object at the foot
  • B
    Lower than the object at the foot
  • C
    Equal to the object at the foot
  • D
    None of the above
