D. Greenhouse gases are kept within the atmosphere, so they would help absorb heat, raising the climate.

The answer is D. Think of a greenhouse, the heat comes in, but it does not exit making the greenhouse warmer. The same goes for the atmosphere and greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are produced livestock and other organisms like cows, etc. The gases the float up into the atmosphere, but they cannot escape, so they just sit there and trap all of the sun's heat in our atmosphere. This would make Earth slowly get warmer. @King_ofCrash
