B Correct answer
Explanation

Albedo is the measure of diffuse reflection of solar radiation out of the total solar radiation received by an astronomical body. Fresh snow has the highest albedo (around 80-95%), forests have low albedo, and water has very low albedo, giving the descending order of snow, forest, water.
