Infrared rays are effectively absorbed in the lower boundary of the troposphere. Because it has a greater wavelength. And co2 is a greenhouse gas.
So, the right answer is (D).

Light energy in the form of visible light, UV reaches the earths surface which is re radiated with a greater wavelength in the form of IR radiation and it is absorbed by CO2, Which is the main cause of global warming.

Infra red is the only above mentioned rays having power to vibrate Co2. That's the only reason.

Wavelength of light is 300000000. So in troposphere there is O2 is present, presence of O2 CO2 absorbing.
