Solution

The correct option is B Global warming
Global warming is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere. This occurs when carbon dioxide and other pollutants absorb sunlight and solar radiation that have bounced off the earth’s surface. Normally, this radiation would escape into space—but these pollutants, trap the heat and cause the planet's atmosphere to get hotter.
