Choose the best explanation for the previous problem from among the following:

A. Heating by air resistance is the same for any color of paint; therefore, the plane will have the same temperature regardless of color.

B. Black is a more efficient radiator of heat than white. Therefore, the black paint radiates more heat, and allows the airplane to stay cooler.

C. Black objects are generally hotter than white ones, all other tilings being equal. Therefore, the plane would be cooler with white paint.
