Answer»

Correct answer is (a) By insulation

To elaborate: HEAT is TRANSFERRED from the absorber plate to a point of USE by the circulating fluid via water ACROSS the solar heated surface. The heat loss from the surface is prevented by placing thermal insulation of 5 to 10cm THICKNESS behind the absorber plate.
