(c) Rate of cooling $\left( { - \frac{{dT}}{{dt}}} \right)\; \propto $ emissivity $(e)$
From graph, ${\left( { - \frac{{dT}}{{dt}}} \right)_x} > {\left( { - \frac{{dT}}{{dt}}} \right)_y}$

==> ${e_x} > {e_y}$
Further emissivity $(e)$ $\propto$ Absorptive power $(a)$

==> ${a_x} > {a_y}$
( good absorbers are good emitters).
