How can we determine the reflectivity of an asteroid?

B will work, but only if you are able to photograph it from a spacecraft doing a really close flyby. If you don't have enough detail to determine its size, then you can't determine its albedo. Radar imaging can also determine size if it is close enough. In most cases, the right answer is "none of the above".
