Solution
The correct option is A chlorofluorocarbons
Trapping of sun’s heat in the
lower atmosphere due to the presence of gases like water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane is called greenhouse effect.
Sun’s radiation is partly
absorbed by earth and rest of the radiations are reflected back to the
atmosphere which are escaped. But the greenhouse gases form blanket in the
atmosphere and trap the radiation from escaping. This causes an increase in earth’s
temperature resulting in Global warming.
