Answer:

The answer to this problem is D.

Explanation:

Firstly, light from the sun passes through Earth's atmosphere to reach Earth's surface and heat the planet. However, some of this light is radiated back into space in the form of infrared radiation. This radiation is trapped by Earth's greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing Earth's surface to heat up. For this reason, choice D makes the most sense.
