Solution

The correct option is B

Coal tar


The gases like methane, nitrous oxide along with carbon dioxide are called greenhouse gases.

Global warming is the phenomenon of the presence of excess greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which absorbs heat and traps it in the Earth's atmosphere, ultimately resulting in increasing the temperature.
