Answer 2

The correct answer is option A and option D

Prior to the industrial Era, the cause of climate change was some natural and environmental factors.

The events like volcanic eruption and changes in the sun's intensity. The natural events still change the climatic conditions but the effect of the natural events is less as compared to that of the events caused due to greenhouse gases.

Earlier, the climatic conditions occurred due to the natural events but now after the industrial revolution it occurs more due to human activities.
