Solution

The correct option is B Long wave infrared radiation
Greenhouse gases are the gases which contribute to global warming. When the concentration of these gases increases in the atmosphere they form a layer which traps the solar radiation. Due to the trapped long wave infrared radiation, the temperature of the earth increases which leads to global warming. So the correct answer is option C.
