The response that BEST represents an aspect of material culture is:

  1. "I love dressing in crazy, bright colors so people will look at me."

Material culture refers to the physical objects, resources, and spaces that people use to define their culture. Dressing in a particular way, such as in bright colors, reflects the material aspects of culture, including clothing and personal adornment.
