Solution

The correct option is D Each object continues to emit and absorb radiation even after attaining the temperature T.
Every object emit and obsorb the radiations simultaneously, if energy emitted is more than energy absorbed temperature falls and vice versa.
Why this question?

Key Concept: All matter with a temperature greater than absolute zero emits thermal radiation.

Caution: Tendency to think that a body only emits radiation to lower temperature is improper.
