Solution

The correct option is C Carbon dioxide
Level of carbon dioxide is continuously increasing in the air due to its constant release by burning of fossil fuels in automobiles, industries etc. As a result, the temperature of the earth is on a constant rise. This has led to global warming and the greenhouse effect. The ozone layer is getting depleted causing harmful UV rays to reach the earth and cause serious ill effects. Apart from this, glaciers are constantly melting due to increase in temperature.
So, option D " Carbon dioxide" is the correct answer.
