Solution

The correct option is D absorption of heat radiation by atmospheric gases particularly water vapours.

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the earth's surface. When the Sun's energy reaches the earth's atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases.

Greenhouse gases include water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and some artificial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
