D. The water will get warmer. The glass in the sun will be warmer than the glass in the shade.

Explanation:

The water in both glasses will get warmer. The glass in the shade wouldn't get as warm as the glass in the sunlight because the glass in the shade isn't getting much heat energy because it isn't in direct sunlight like the glass in the sun.
