Solution

The correct option is C
glass plate

Glass plate permits the light to enter into the cooker. This radiation is converted into longer wavelengths by the coating in the cooker. This longer wavelength can not exit the cooker because of glass. Thus, the glass plate helps in trapping the solar radiation, thereby creating a green house effect.
