4.
The heat transfer by radiation from a mild steel surface is to be reduced by reducing the emissivity of the surface. This can be best achieved by
painting the surface black.
painting the surface white (with aluminium paint).
giving the surface a mirror finish.
roughening the surface.

Why not the answer should be C?

Can someone give an explanation?

I think B & C both options are correct.

Actually the factors which are effects on the emissivity are.

Material. Non-metals, usually have a high emissivity and are usually fairly constant over time Surface. Polished and shiny surfaces tend to have lower emissivity.
Viewing angle.
Wavelength.
Geometry.
Temperature.

So, option 2 is correct.
