The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Heat Absorption**: Different colors of clothing absorb heat differently. This is due to the way colors interact with light and heat. 2. **Identifying Dark Colors**: Dark colors, such as black, navy blue, and dark green, absorb more heat compared to lighter colors. This is because dark colors absorb all wavelengths of light. 3. **Identifying Light Colors**: Light colors, such as white, light blue, and pastel shades, tend to reflect most of the light and, consequently, the heat. They absorb less heat because they reflect a larger portion of the light wavelengths. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that clothes of **dark** colors absorb heat better than clothes of light colors. **Final Answer**: Clothes of **dark** colors absorb heat better than clothes of light colors. ---
