Answer
A
color of the material
B
mass of the material
C
texture of the material
D
volume of the material
E
weight of the material

Explanation

Color and surface texture affect how thermal energy is absorbed or reflected. Dark, dull surfaces tend to absorb more thermal energy, while light-colored, shiny surfaces tend to reflect more. Mass, volume, and weight do not determine how much thermal energy a surface absorbs or reflects.
