The warming of the earth's surfaces due to the heat trapping effect of the greenhouse gases is known as greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases trap the sun's energy in the atmosphere and increase the temperature of the surface of the earth.

It is easy to get confused between greenhouse effect and global warming. Global warming refers to the increase in global temperature, and is a result of greenhouse effect and climate change, while greenhouse effect is the natural phenomenon occurring as a result of the presence of greenhouse gases.

So, here, the correct option is A.
