Contrary to earlier conjectures, it may be that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide as a result of burning fossil fuels would cool the globe by reducing the amount of solar energy absorbed by snow.

(A) increased atmospheric carbon dioxide as a result of burning
(B) increased atmospheric carbon dioxide resulting from the combustion of
(C) increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere resulting from the combustion of
(D) carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that increase from burning
(E) atmospheric carbon dioxide that increased from burning

imo b

It is B, but why are A and E wrong?

IMO B

Contrary to earlier conjectures, it may be that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide as a result of burning fossil fuels would cool the globe by reducing the amount of solar energy absorbed by snow.

(A) increased atmospheric carbon dioxide as a result of burning
AS A RESULT OF BURNING doesnt hold good when compared with option B, RESULTING FROM COMBUSTION OF
(B) increased atmospheric carbon dioxide resulting from the combustion of

In your explanation for E, increase is in the past tense. Can you clarify what you meant?

Still confused between A & B..did not see the brevity of B and not of A !!
