Solution

The correct options are
C Carbon dioxide
D Chlorofluorocarbons
$C O_{2}$ and $C F C s$ are the absorbers of IR- radiation. The property of $C O_{2}$ to absorb and re-emit infrared radiation leads to green house effect. $C F C s$ possess the highest capacity to absorb IR radiation among all the green house gases. Nitrogen and oxygen do not absorb IR radiation.
