B Correct answer
Explanation

'Cool shade' is the correct expression because trees provide relief from heat. 'Cool' pleasantly contrasts with the hot sun. 'Dark shade' is redundant (shade is already dark), 'cold' is too extreme for shade, and 'ferment' is a verb meaning to undergo chemical breakdown - completely wrong.
