B.
It would diminish cloud formation which would result in an increase in precipitation.
C.
It would cause the melting of glaciers which would result in an increase in surface runoff.

Option C

It would cause the melting of glaciers which would result in an increase in surface runoff.

Increase in global warming increases the temperature of earth which causes the melting of glaciers. This will increase the surface run off and reduction in evaporation
