Answer»

Right OPTION is (a) Atrium

Explanation: Atria PROVIDE some DAYLIGHT to adjacent working areas, but the amount is OFTEN small and does not penetrate very far. The main function of an atrium is to provide a visual experience and a degree of contact with the outside for people in the working areas. The daylighting of successive storeys of rooms adjoining an atrium is interdependent and REQUIRES a balanced approach.
