Solution

The correct option is B Heat
Carbon dioxide is one of the green house gases that trap the heat reflected from the earth back to space. An increase in the percentage of such gases in the atmosphere would cause the average temperatures to increase world-wide and this is called the greenhouse effect. An increase in the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere would cause more heat to be retained by the atmosphere and lead to global warming.
The correct option is B - 'Heat'.
