B) The oceans on Earth have acted as a thermostat in absorbing much of the heat that would otherwise have raised Earth's temperature significantly.
C) CO2,which traps heat from the planet's surface,is the major component in the very dense Venusian atmosphere but only a minor constituent of Earth's atmosphere.
