The correct answer is A.

When a meteorite hits the ground, it creates massive dust and can block out sunlight for extended periods of time until all of the dust clears out of the sky.

Have a good day :)

Answer: Option A

Explanation: Meteorite impact affect the climate by changing the composition of the atmosphere.

The meteorite are huge balls of fire and dust that is present in the sky and when it comes near the earth, it gets attracted by the earth's gravitational pull and hence it strikes the earth.

This huge amount of dust and heat changes the composition of the earth's atmosphere and eventually the climate of the earth changes.
