Explanation

Option (d) is correct because the provided text explicitly states that Carbon dioxide is transparent to the incoming solar radiation but opaque to the outgoing terrestrial radiation. It absorbs a part of terrestrial radiation and reflects some of it back towards the earth's surface, which is largely responsible for the green house effect. The other gases listed (Oxygen, Nitrogen, Helium) do not have this specific property mentioned in the context.
