Solution

The correct option is C global warming

Carbon dioxide is responsible for trapping the heat from the sun inside Earth's atmosphere. This results in an increase in the average temperature of the earth and this is known as global warming.

Moreover, carbon dioxide dissolves in rainwater to produce carbonic acid (H2CO3) which is a constituent of acid rain.

CO2(g) + H2O(l) H2CO3(aq)

Carbon dioxide is not responsible for ozone depletion and it occurs due to the use of CFC's (Chlorofluorocarbon).

A landslide is any geologic process in which gravity causes rock, soil, artificial fill or a combination of the three to move down a slope. Several things can trigger landslides, including the slow weathering of rocks as well as soil erosion, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
