Solution

The correct option is C Greenhouse effect

The greenhouse effect can be defined as the capture and re-radiation of the infre-red radiations by the tropospheric gases like ozone, carbon dioxide, water vapours and dust. This lead to the increase in the temperature of the atmosphere, and as a result the over all temperature of the earth increases, causing global warming.

A. Ozone layer effect is the absorption of UV rays.

B. Radioactive effect is the release of the radiations by radioactive substances.

C. The greenhouse effect can be defined as the capture and re-radiation of the infre-red radiations by the tropospheric gases like ozone, carbon dioxide, water vapours and dust.

D. Solar effect is the massive release of solar flares.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Greenhouse effect'.
