What is the purpose of a "star shade" in efforts to directly detect extrasolar planets?

A) The star shade blocks light from the central star, so planets can be seen. B) The star shade cools the star, so it does not emit so much contaminating light. C) The star shade keeps the telescope cooler, so it does not emit as much infrared light. D) The star shade changes the wavelength of starlight, so it is easier to distinguish from planet light. E) The star shade separates starlight from planet light based on temperature.
