Assertion (A): Stratospheric cooling with tropospheric warming points to a greenhouse cause rather than a solar one.
Reason (R): A brighter Sun would warm the whole atmosphere while more greenhouse gas warms below and cools above.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: B

Both are true and the reason gives the discriminating power of the observation, which is exactly what a fingerprint argument requires. A measurement that both explanations predict equally carries no weight in deciding between them.
