HELP!! Using modern technology, scientists have found evidence that the average annual temperature of Earth is increasing. However, the amount of energy that the Sun emits has remained nearly constant. Scientists propose that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere of Earth partly explain the increase in temperature.

Why is the temperature of Earth increasing if the amount of energy the Sun releases is relatively constant?
Answer options with 4 options
A.
The light energy from stars in other galaxies is converted to nuclear energy.
B.
The kinetic energy that comes from the Sun is making molecules move faster.
C.
The energy that was previously released to space is now reflected back to Earth by the atmosphere.
D.
The energy from other stars in the Milky Way galaxy is converted to thermal energy in the atmosphere of Earth.

the cladogram shown here shows similarities and differences among several classes of vertebrates. anatomically, the four have limb structure as their common ancestor. we might separate the mammals from the other three classes because they a) divergent; do not lay eggs b) identical; are warm-blooded c) varied; a four chambered heart d) homologous; have mammary glands

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
