200 kW of solar radiation is shining on a 300 m^2 parking lot. What is the insulation on the parking lot?

That's "insolation" ... not "insulation".

'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.

If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is

(200 kW) / (300 m²) = (666 and 2/3) watt/m² .

Note that this is the intensity of the incident radiation. It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.

Wait !
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all. I have no idea what "1 sun" means. Forgive me. I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.

Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.

1 sun = 1 kW/m².

So 2/3 of a kW per m² = 2/3 of 1 sun

That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.

I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.

If you increase the frequency of a sound wave four times, the speed will increase four times. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". This also shows the frequency and speed of the waves are directly proportional to each other. I hope it helps you.
