  2. Bnuclear power - radioactive wastes
  3. Csolar energy - greenhouse effect
  4. Dbiomass burning - release of CO2\mathrm{CO}_2

Correct answer

C. solar energy - greenhouse effect

Step-by-step solution

The following question represent the source and effect. Solar energy does not causes greenhouse effect. Related Theory The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface. When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases include water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and some artificial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth. This process maintains the Earth's temperature at around 33 degrees Celsius warmer than it would otherwise be, allowing life on Earth to exist.
