Solution

The correct option is D

Shiny, silvery wall


The figure given below shows the parts of a thermos flask.

Though there is a vacuum in the thermos flask, radiation can take place as it does not require a medium. The shiny, silvery inner wall reflects the radiated heat and thus keeps the contents hot/cold.
