Solution

The correct option is A global warming

Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour, etc.) trap the sun's heat inside the atmosphere. The percentage of these gases increase in our atmosphere due to excessive usage of fossil fuels and this leads to an enhanced greenhouse effect. This is the main cause for global warming and climate change.
