(c) Solar energy - green house effect
Explanation:
Solar energy coming to the earth is not responsible for green house effect. It is the increase in green house gases in atmosphere like CO2 which is released by complete combustion of fossil fuels or biomass in industries or transportation vehicles that prevent the reradiation of infrared radiation from the earth and result in increase in temperature of the earth.
