Solution

The correct option is A $C O_{2}$ and $O_{3}$
The major greenhouse gases responsible for greenhouse effect are carbon dioxide, ozone, methane and water vapour. These gases acts like a thick warm blanket outside that surrounds this planet and regulates climate control. Water vapour causes about 36-70% of the greenhouse effect on earth, carbon dioxide CO $_{2}$ , which causes 9-26%; methane, which causes 4-9%, and ozone, which causes 3-7%.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
