White clothes are cooler than black clothes because they [B] reflect whatever light reaches them. Unlike black clothes, which absorb most of the light that strikes them, white clothes reflect a significant portion of sunlight, including infrared radiation. This reflection reduces the amount of heat absorbed by the fabric, keeping the clothing and the wearer cooler. Black clothes, on the other hand, absorb light across the visible spectrum and convert it into heat energy, leading to higher temperatures. By reflecting sunlight instead of absorbing it, white clothes maintain lower temperatures and offer better comfort in hot conditions. Therefore, the reflective nature of white clothes (option [B]) is the reason behind their cooler feel compared to black clothes. Options [A], [C], and [D] do not accurately describe the phenomenon of why white clothes are cooler.
