Solution
The correct option is B Less than the present level Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. It has the ability to trap sunlight and thus causes the increase in the temperature of Earth surface. If the situation on the Earth was with a lesser amount of CO2, the temperature would have been very little. More pollution will cause the release of more CO2 to the atmosphere causing global warming.
