Correct Answer: trapped inside


Solution : The correct answer is the first option.

The phrase "trapped beside Earth's atmosphere" does not convey the intended meaning. So, the corrected sentence conveys that greenhouse gases are "trapped inside" the Earth's atmosphere and are contributing to global warming.

The prepositions in the other options, "beyond" and "outside," do not effectively convey the intended meaning.

Thus, the correct statement is "Greenhouse gases trapped inside Earth's atmosphere cause global warming."
