Solution
The correct option is B Green house effect
Greenhouse effect is the phenomenon in which earth's atmosphere traps the heat from the sun and prevents it from escaping into the outer space.The greenhouse effect received its name because the earth's atmosphere acts as like glass or plastic roof and walls of a greenhouse. Sunlight enters a greenhouse through the transparent glass or plastic panes and heats the plants but heat emitted by plants in the form of infrared radiated cannot pass through the glass or plastic panes. As a result, temperature increases within. Thus, they add to the heating of the atmosphere.
