The correct answer is B. White polar ice caps.
Explanation: Albedo refers to the reflectivity of a surface; surfaces with higher albedo reflect more sunlight. White polar ice caps have a high albedo because they reflect a significant amount of sunlight, whereas dark surfaces like oceans, asphalt, or forests absorb more light and thus have a lower albedo.
