Answer:

B. increased average temperatures on the Earth's surface

Step-by-step explanation:

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of earth surface as a result of greenhouse gases.

  • When the greenhouse gases accumulates in sufficient amount in the atmosphere, they lead to global warming.
