Answer:

Correct answer: B). Global climate is changing due to burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.

Forest holds a large amount of carbon, plants are known to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow, that carbon dioxide is stored in plants in the form of carbon in plant's roots, leaves and in the soil. When trees are cut down, that stored carbon is released in the environment in the form of carbon dioxide, which accounts for approximately 18% of global greenhouse gas emission.

The burning of fossil fuel like coal, petroleum, oil, gas for the energy purpose is one of the major contributors for the rising level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which leads to global warming and affect the climate.

Hence, the correct answer would be option B.

Asthenosphere is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move because the material in this part of the mantle flows and can move plastically and convection is all about the movement of the magma,the hotter stuff rising towards the crust while the cooler stuff sinks deeper into the mantle.
