C) Greenhouse effect

Explanation:

Such type of phenomena that is responsible for heating the surface of the earth and the atmosphere is called a greenhouse effect. This effect is caused by certain gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and some other. When radiations come from the sun to the earth and they return back to space, but greenhouse gases absorb the radiation and after some time it emits again in the atmosphere and thus atmosphere becomes warn and becomes less transparent.
