Solution

The correct option is A Porous
The earthen pots prepared by using clay only are generally porous to facilitate cooling process.This works through evaporative cooling. Capillary action causes water to seep and evaporate from the mini-pores in the pot, taking the heat from the water inside, thus making the water inside cooler than the outside temperature.
