  1. sunlight

  2. heat

  3. CO

  4. oxygen

  5. smoke


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When the concentration of greenhouse gases increases in the atmosphere, they trap more heat.

Find the odd one from the following list.

  1. Ozone depletion

  2. Greenhouse effect

  3. Global warming

  4. CFC

  5. Acid rain


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It causes the Ozone layer depletion. Hence, it is a cause, not the effect.
