The greenhouse effect of the earth means the trapping of infrared radiations from the atmosphere and not reflecting it back due to higher levels of carbon dioxide as a major pollutant that traps radiations.
This effect causes the rise in the global temperature resulting in the melting of polar ice caps and rises in sea level.
Option B is correct.
