The question asks for what is not a strategy.

A: To reduce the heat island effect, cover the surface with materials that have a high (not low) SRI value.

The heat island effect is created when developed areas have higher temperatures than surrounding rural areas. An urban heat island effect is caused by sunlight heating up dark colored surfaces such as roads and rooftops. Huge quantities of heat are generated in buildings that have dark rooftops and absorb heat rather than reflect it.
B:Placing the parking underground would eliminate the parking lot.
C:Using an open-grid pavement system that is at least 50% pervious is also acceptable to reduce the heat island effect. Open grid pavement allows for vegetation to grow in it. Vegetation reduces the heat island effect compared to pavement or other hardscapes.
D: Shading the hardscapes prevent the sun from hitting the surface.
