Solution

The correct option is C

Green house effect


The exchange of incoming and outgoing radiations that warms the Earth is called green house effect. This is a phenomenon in which the atmosphere of a planet traps radiation emitted by the Sun, caused by gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane. It allows incoming sunlight to pass through but retains the heat radiated back from the planet's surface. This increases the overall temperature of the planet leading to global warming.
