The best choice is: "it is the increase in the earth's average surface temperature due to human activity."
Why:
- That directly describes global warming (especially anthropogenic/global warming).
- Option 1 is closer to the greenhouse effect but is worded poorly — it should say the trapping of heat due to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases (e.g., CO2), which contributes to warming.
- Option 3 describes weather (short‑term conditions), not global warming.
- Option 4 describes climate change — the broader changes in climate that result from increased temperatures (i.e., a consequence of global warming).
