A

`H_(2)O` vapours

B

`O_(3)`

C

`CH_(4)`

D

`CO`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Certain atmospheric gases as `CO_(2),O_(3), CH_(4)` and `H_(2)O` vapours absorb infrared radiations coming from the earth's surface. As a result a certain amount of energy is retained in the atmosphere, producing a warming effect on earth-global warming. `CO` does not absorb these radiations.
