Solution
The correct option is C
Green house effect
Our planet's atmosphere traps energy just like a greenhouse. Energy from the Sun can enter the Earth’s atmosphere, but not all of it can easily find its way out again. This is due to the fact that atmospheric gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapour, ozone etc., trap the radiations that fall on them and re-radiate it back onto Earth. This is called greenhouse effect.
