Correct Answer: Option D — Albedo. Albedo is correct because it is the ice-albedo feedback can amplify warming. Albedo is also associated with the fraction of incoming radiation reflected by a surface. A further identifying fact is that Albedo is ice loss exposes darker surfaces that absorb more heat. Another useful fact is that Albedo is associated with the ice-albedo feedback can amplify warming. Why the other options are incorrect: Option A — Paris Agreement: It is countries submit nationally determined contributions and is associated with an international climate agreement; those are the identifying facts of Paris Agreement. Option B — Carbon dioxide: It is forests and oceans absorb part of its emissions and is associated with a long-lived greenhouse gas; those are the identifying facts of Carbon dioxide. Option C — Methane: It is it is the main component of natural gas and is associated with a potent short-lived greenhouse gas; those are the identifying facts of Methane. Exam Takeaway: Link Albedo with “the ice-albedo feedback can amplify warming” and “the fraction of incoming radiation reflected by a surface” for quick revision.
