According to measurements made by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), dark energy is by far the most plentiful material in the universe. It comprises about 68% of the universe's total energy density. Dark matter accounts for about 27%, and baryonic matter (ordinary matter) makes up only about 5%. Therefore, the correct response in this context would be dark energy.
