Answer:
What is the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the way in which heat is trapped close to Earth's surface by “greenhouse gases.”
Explanation:
These heat-trapping gases can be thought of as a blanket wrapped around Earth, keeping the planet toastier than it would be without them. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides, and water vapor. (Water vapor, which responds physically or chemically to changes in temperature, is called a "feedback.") Scientists have determined that carbon dioxide's warming effect helps stabilize Earth's atmosphere. Remove carbon dioxide, and the terrestrial greenhouse effect would collapse. Without carbon dioxide, Earth's surface would be some 33°C (59°F) cooler.

I hope this helps, if it doesn't then just message me and ill be more than happy to help :)
What is the question? I think that you answered it yourself...
The best answer would be the 4th choice. "They help scientists explain concepts that are difficult to observe, this also covers the first answer which helps the scientist to answer complex questions. A scientific model is not used prove scientific laws as they may not always have all the data to prove so, instead it is used to allow them to explain better concepts revolving around science through research and may also allow them to predict results based on the accumulation of data and analyzing the trend of this resulting information.
