Solution
The correct option is C Greenhouse effect
The atmospheric cover of the Earth acts like glass walls of a greenhouse. It absorbs most of the incoming solar radiations from the Sun and reradiates them to the Earth’s surface. However, it prevents the long wave infrared radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface to escape into space. In this way, the atmosphere acts as a greenhouse, trapping the heat.
