Solution

The correct option is B
CFCs

$C O_{2}, C H_{4}$ and $N_{2} O$ emitted to the atmosphere have the ability to trap heat, which is the cause for the greenhouse effect, thus these gases are called greenhouse gases. The more is the presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the more heat stays on Earth.
