Correct Answer: effect


Solution : The correct option is the fourth option .

In the sentence, the greenhouse effect is used to describe the specific phenomenon related to the trapping of heat in a planet's atmosphere due to certain gases, which results in warming. So, the most appropriate word that can be used after greenhouse is effect .

The meanings of the other words are:

  • Displacement : This term generally refers to the act of moving something from its original place or position.
  • Contour : It refers to the outline or shape of something, particularly the outline of a figure, body, or surface.
  • Affect : This word can be a verb, meaning to have an influence on or produce a change in something.

So, the complete sentence would be, "Such a greenhouse effect is created".
