Answer:

A. greenhouse effect

Step-by-step explanation:

The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat. This process makes Earth much warmer than it would be without an atmosphere. Climate change results from the shedding of gases like CO2 into the atmosphere where it can trap more heat.
