Solution

The correct option is B sun's rays

Stevenson's Screen is used to shield meteorological instruments from precipitation and direct external radiations, such as heat. The screen is louvered to allow air to circulate around the instruments. Additionally, the screen is painted white to reflect the sun’s direct rays. This facilitates meteorological instruments such as thermometers and thermographs to measure temperatures in a standardized environment.

The Stevenson's Screen forms part of all-weather stations and was designed by Thomas Stevenson.
