b. some is absorbed by the atmosphere
c. some is absorbed by land and water on Earth's surface
d. all of the above

Answer 1

d. all of the above

All of the above definitely happens when Earth receives energy from the Sun.

Answer 2

Answer:

d. all of the above

Explanation:

The external part of the atmosphere absorbs part of the energy, reflecting the rest. The absorbed part is distributed among the layers of the atmosphere. So, only a small part of the initially absorbed energy by the atomosphere reaches the earth's surface.
