The ratio of the energy absorbed by the body to total energy falling on it is called

A Absorptive power
B Emissive power
C Absorptivity
D Emissivity

Correct Answer: Absorptive power

Absorptive power is a measure of heat absorbed by an object. When heat is incident on the surface an object, a part of it is absorbed and the remaining part is reflected. Usually the absorbed radiation is converted to thermal energy, increasing the object's temperature.
