Solution

The correct option is A
Due to enhanced greenhouse effect caused by carbon dioxide

Global warming is the rise in temperature of the atmosphere of the earth. Combustion of most fuels releases carbon dioxide in the environment. Increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the air is believed to cause global warming. This causes the melting of polar glaciers, which leads to a rise in the sea level, causing floods in the coastal areas.
