Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is B. The greenhouse effect is caused by the buildup of certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere, which trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping into space. This causes the Earth to lose heat more slowly and results in an increase in temperature known as global warming.
