Answer: (a)

The colour of the star is an indication of its temperature. The glowing is caused by something called Black-Body radiation, which has to do with the heat energy trying to radiate away in more and more energetic wavelengths.

Albedo also varies according to the angle of incidence of the Sun Rays being higher for slanting rays and lower for vertical or nearly vertical rays. From this we can derive that albedo will be relatively higher during early morning and late evening because at both times, Sun rays are slanting.
