The correct option is D Black carbon
Black carbon is second only to carbon dioxide for its contribution to global warming. Chemically, black carbon or BC is a component of fine particulate matter. Black carbon consists of pure carbon in several linked forms. It is formed through the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuel, and biomass, and is emitted in both anthropogenic and naturally occurring soot.
