The correct option is C
Glass sheet

Greenhouse effect is the trapping of heat in the environment due to the presence of greenhouse gases like $C O_{2},$ methane, water vapour etc. This raises the temperature of the earth.
Similarly, in a solar cooker the sun rays are reflected by the mirror are trapped in the solar cooker by the glass plate (green house effect) and is used to heat the food.
So, glass sheet is responsible for the greenhouse effect.
