Answer 1

The correct response is:

The light yellow block reflects more heat than the dark blue box.

This is because light-colored objects typically reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat compared to dark-colored objects, which tend to absorb more heat. Therefore, the light yellow block will reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than the dark blue box.
