This is a Multiple choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Options (i) and (ii) are correct since 75% of the solar energy reaching the earth is being absorbed by the earth's surface and this increases its temperature. The rest of the heat radiates back to the atmosphere. The average global temperature will increase to a level, and this leads to melting of polar ice caps and flooding of low-lying areas all over the earth. Increase in the global temperature increases the incidence of inectious diseases like malaria, dengue, yellow fever etc.
