Solution

The correct option is A carbon dioxide
Deforestation is the process of cutting down the trees. This leads to an increase in the amount of $C O_{2}$ in the air. An increase in the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere would cause more heat to be retained by the atmosphere. This would add to global warming.
