What is the answer and where did you find it?
Solution
As of to the above data considerations, option D best recommended as the answer.
since the panel construction is not as specific as transparent or grid framed or hollow etc.
As surface area of panel is best reflected as 210sqft(14.5*14.5ft) its a plated surface it 100% blockage for vision on comparision to other.
