Solution

The correct option is C industrial pollution
Global warming is among the most serious outcome of industrial pollution, witnessed on the account of the steady rise of industrial activities. Industries release into the atmosphere a variety of greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide $(C O_{2})$ and methane $(C H_{4})$ . These gases absorb thermal radiation from the sun thereby increasing the general temperature of the earth, leading to global warming.
