The correct option is A Global warming

Greenhouse effect

• The greenhouse effect is the phenomenon of heating the Earth’s surface. This is due to the absorption of the longwave infrared radiations re-radiated by the surface of the Earth, by the greenhouse gases such as $C{O}_2$ followed by their emission towards the Earth’s surface.
• Thus, the entire escape of heat into outer space is prevented.
• If the heating process of the Earth’s surface is excessive due to the increased level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, it may lead to excessive increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere.
• This will result in global warming.
