Solution

The correct option is A

Carbon dioxide


The gradual increase in the overall temperature of the Earth's atmosphere due to an increase in greenhouse gases is global warming. Ozone, methane, carbon dioxide, water vapour, chlorofluorocarbons, etc. are called greenhouse gases. They absorb some heat thereby restricting the heat to escape our atmosphere.
