The correct option is: More sunlight is reflected than transmitted by the dark lower layers of clouds.
Clouds can block out sunlight and reflect it back into space, preventing it from reaching the Earth's surface and warming it up. As a result, when it is cloudy, less sunlight is able to reach the Earth's surface, leading to cooler temperatures.
Why is it often colder on cloudy summer days?
More sunlight is absorbed than transmitted by the dark lower layers of clouds.
More sunlight is reflected than transmitted by the white upper surface of clouds.
