Solution

The correct option is A: Iron chair
A piece of wood lying in the Sun absorbs more heat than a piece of shining metal, yet the wood feels less hot than the metal when touched because the metal being a good conductor of heat conducts heat present in it to the hands whereas wood being a bad conductor conducts very little heat, so iron chair feels to be warmer.
