Answer: B

Sentence 1 is the paragraph's main topic. It works to introduce what the greenhouse effect is and it's there to establish that this is what scientists generally think causes the Earth to get progressively warmer.

A (sentence 3) cant be the main topic because this sentence is merely a detail of how the greenhouse effect works. Option D is not the answer because this is just additional information of how the greenhouse effect works on earth. Finally, option C (sentence 2) is not because it does not introduce the greenhouse effect, it only expands on the first sentence.
