Solution

The correct option is C Water vapour
Global warming occurs due to an increase in the amount of green-house gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour, Chloro Fluoro Carbons (CFC), carbon monoxide, photo-chemical oxidants, and hydrocarbons are responsible for the heat retention ability of the atmosphere.
