Solution

Greenhouse effect, a warming of Earth's surface and troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere) caused by the presence of water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, and certain other gases in the air. Of those gases, known as greenhouse gases, water vapour has the largest effect.

The green house gases are CO2, H2Ovapour and CH4.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
