Answer:

A. Night time

Explanation:

During day time, when the sun rays fall on surface of Earth, major amount of rays are reflected back to upper atmosphere but some energy is absorbed by the surrounding.

This trapped energy which is radiated by clouds is very important for the balanced temperature.
