Solution

The correct option is C

both global warming and green house effect


Increase in amount of CO2 in air results in global warming and greenhouse effect.

Most of the radiations that Earth receives from the Sun is reflected back. Earth gets heated up by these reflected radiations and this heat is trapped by the atmosphere. This phenomenon is called green house effect and due to this heating there is an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere. This is called global warming.
