The correct answer is D. The transferring of thermal energy from the sun to the earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The image presented shows a lamp or bulb emitting light over a small lizard that lives in an aquarium. This phenomenon resembles the one that occurs on Earth, because the Sun emits thermal energy in form of heat that reaches the Earth, as a result of this, the general temperature in Earth is warm which creates conditions for multiple organisms to exist, in the same way than the heat emitted by the lamp is necessary for the lizard to live. Additionally, this is possible due to the atmosphere that traps part of the thermal energy and filters dangerous radiation. According to this, the process shown is "The transferring of thermal energy from the sun to the earth".
