Which best explains why a black T-shirt gets warmer in the Sun than a white T-shirt?

Sunlight reaches the T-shirts as electromagnetic waves. A black shirt absorbs more of that incoming light energy, which is converted to thermal energy and warms the fabric; a white shirt reflects more of it. So the best choice is “Darker colors absorb more energy from electromagnetic waves than lighter colors do.”
