The correct response is:

**More sunlight is reflected than transmitted by the white upper surface of clouds.**

Clouds can block some sunlight from reaching the ground, leading to cooler temperatures on cloudy days compared to clear days. The white upper surfaces of clouds tend to reflect a significant amount of sunlight, reducing the amount of solar energy that warms the Earth's surface.
