Question 27: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3: "The nighttime impact is particularly harmful, as urban surfaces release stored heat after sunset, depriving residents of essential cooling during heatwaves."?

A. Residents are unable to escape the heat during the day because urban surfaces store radiation and release it only when heatwaves have passed.

B. The harmful nature of nighttime heat is primarily attributed to the fact that urban surfaces begin to absorb solar radiation only after the sun has set.

C. That urban surfaces discharge accumulated warmth following sunset makes nighttime effects especially damaging by denying residents vital relief from heatwaves.

D. Urban areas become dangerous at night because the cooling essential for residents is redirected to help city surfaces release their trapped radiation.
