The correct answer is:
**a** When some reflected solar energy is captured by greenhouse gases.
The greenhouse effect occurs when the Earth's atmosphere traps some of the energy from the sun, particularly in the form of infrared radiation, which is reflected off the Earth's surface. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor trap this energy, preventing it from escaping back into space and thereby warming the planet.
