The appropriate answer is b. greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane have the ability to trap infrared radiation or heat in the atmosphere. Without these gases the Earth would be thirty degrees cooler than it is today. Pollution today has caused more of these gases to enter the atmosphere and this is the main cause of contemporary global warming.
Ozone in the stratosphere actually blocks another form of radiation called ultraviolet radiation. Geothermal energy is derived from hot rocks inside the earth.

Explanation:
In an atom, the inner electrons may shield the outer electrons from the attractive force of the nucleus. We, refer to this phenomenon as the <u><em>shielding effect</em></u>, It is defined as a decrease in the magnitude of attraction between an electron and the nucleus of an atom having more than one electron shell (energy level).
Shielding effect increases down the group due to addition of more shells but decreases across the period due to the increase in the size of the nuclear charge.
As the magnitude of shielding increases down the group, ionization of electrons becomes easier and the first ionization energies of elements decreases as we move down the group. Since shielding effect decreases across the period, the first ionization energies of elements increases across the period.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Solid, Liquid and Gas are the states of matter. Light is neither a solid, a liquid, nor a gas.
