Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) Mashrabiya; (D) Chajja

Explanation

A mashrabiya screens openings and a chajja projects shade over them, so A, D directly address solar exclusion. Badgir and malquf are principally wind-catching/ventilation devices. Their broader climatic roles do not make them the direct shading answers intended here.
