Solution

The correct option is A Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
Carbon dioxide is confined exclusively to the troposphere. The thick layer of $C O_{2}$ in the troposphere behaves like the glass panels of a greenhouse and allows the sunlight to filter through, but prevents the heat from being re-radiated in outer space. This is called greenhouse effect.
