Solution
The correct option is D Greenhouse effect
Water and wind are agents of soil erosion, carrying the top soil with their flow. Sun is also a factor which influences the weathering of rocks due the constant expansion and contraction of rocks, finally causing larger rocks to break up into smaller pieces.
Greenhouse effect does not allow excessive heat loss from the atmosphere at night. However, enhanced greenhouse effect is responsible for global warming.
