Solution

The correct option is B 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 which leads to excessive and uncontrolled greenhouse effect. This is the main cause of global warming and climate change.
