Which of the following choices describes the greenhouse effect?

the process of fertile land being converted to infertile land

the heat trapped in the atmosphere, which causes an increase in the earth’s temperature

the radiation of heat and light from the sun, causing daylight hours to be warmer than nighttime hours

the increase in sea levels and coastal erosion caused by global warming

The heat trapped in the atmosphere, which causes an increase in the Earth’s temperature.

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect is the problem that is caused by a higher amount of gases like carbon dioxide on the planet's atmosphere, resulting in progressive warming up of the Earth's surface. It is one of the main causes of Global Warming.

Greenhouse gases include

radiative zone

explanation    

radiative zone is the layer of the sun which energy is transferred away from the core by radiation. although, the core is the only part of the sun that produces an appreciable amount of heat through fusion. in fact, 99% of the energy produced by the sun takes place within 24% of the sun's radius.
