Correct Answer: Carbon dioxide
Solution : The correct option is Carbon dioxide
Shortwave radiation, primarily visible light and ultraviolet , is one form of energy that the sun emits. The Earth's surface warms as a result of this energy. This solar energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface and subsequently reemitted as long-wave infrared radiation (heat). A portion of the outgoing infrared radiation is effectively trapped by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, which are transparent to incoming solar energy. The term greenhouse effect refers to this process.
