Answer:

C. Is absorbed by the atmosphere

Explanation:

The energy emitted by the earth's surface is at about 398.2 Wm2 in Long Wave radiation. this energy is the result of the interaction of incoming short wave radiation with the land and mainly Ocean with Convection, Conduction, latent heat, and evapotranspiration.

From the 398.2Wm2 only 40.1 Wm2 trespasses the atmosphere directly to space. The rest 358.2 is absorbed by the atmosphere.
