A
Scatter
B
Molecules and dust
C
Clouds
D
Ground
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Solar Radiation Pathways Insolation can be direct or diffuse. Direct radiation is solar radiation received by the Earth’s surface and/or atmosphere that has not been altered by atmospheric scattering. Diffused radiation is solar radiation that has been modified by scattering.

Detailed explanation-2: -As Wein’s law explains, the sun’s high temperature emits solar radiation of mostly shorter wavelengths. This incoming solar radiation may be scattered, reflected, or absorbed.

Detailed explanation-3: -EXPLANATION: Carbon dioxide prevents solar radiations to go back into space. It absorbs the solar rays and energy of the sun due to which the temperature on the earth increases and natures balance gets disturbed.
