I agree.

To determine the correct answer, we need to compare the spending patterns on clothing between people at the turn of the nineteenth century and people today.

One way to approach this is by conducting research on historical data and then comparing it to current statistics. However, as an AI, I can provide you with some general knowledge that can help you answer this question.

During the turn of the nineteenth century, clothing was relatively more expensive and was considered a necessary expenditure. People invested a significant portion of their income in basic clothing items. On the other hand, today, we have a wider range of clothing options and improved manufacturing processes, which have led to lower clothing prices.

Considering these factors, it is reasonable to assume that people today spend a smaller percentage of their income on clothing compared to those at the turn of the nineteenth century. Thus, the correct answer is B, people today spend a smaller percentage of their income on clothing.
