(B) an increase in the amount of infrared radiation absorbed by the atmosphere (C) the burning of larger amounts of wood and fossil fuels (D) additional respiration by the rapidly growing human population

Respuesta :

The correct option is C.

What are greenhouse gas?

Greenhouse gases on Earth trap heat in the atmosphere, warming the whole planet. The primary gases that cause the greenhouse effect are fluorinated gases, as well as naturally occurring gases such carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor (which are synthetic).

The main cause of the increase in CO2 (carbon dioxide) levels is the burning of more wood and fossil fuels, as well as more people breathing in as a result of the planet's rapidly growing human population.

Examples of fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, are coal and wood. CO2 levels are increasing as a result of wildfires and deforestation.

Due to population growth, there is now more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a result of human breathing.
