Solution

The correct options are
A Deforestation
B Burning of fossil fuels
C Increasing population
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Deforestation reduces carbon dioxide absorbers (trees) in the environment. Burning of fossil fuels leads to carbon dioxide emissions. Increasing human population also increases the amount of carbon dioxide exhaled that reaches the atmosphere. All of these factors contribute to global warming (increasing temperature on the Earth's surface).
