Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Due to heavy industrialization and transportation (modernization), concentration is increasing day by day in the atmosphere. $ CO _2 $ has capacity for absorbing heat radiations and thus increases temperature. This increase in global temperature (global warming) is mainly due to $ CO _2 $ concentration is called greenhouse effect. Complete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass releases carbon dioxide.
