The correct answer is "All of these" because:.

Snow albedo decreases with grain size at all wavelengths: Larger grains absorb more light due to increased surface area, leading to lower reflectance.

Maximum effect in the near-IR region: Larger grains significantly reduce reflectance in near-IR because of higher absorption.

Lower effect in the visible region: The visible spectrum is less sensitive to changes in grain size compared to the near-IR region, hence the effect is less pronounced.
