Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is an important green house gas which absorbs heat. The simulation is created artificially and carbon dioxide is added to the experiment.

This carbon dioxide in the experiment absorbs heat (infrared) and this experiment resembles green house effect.

Catherine is likely to create a simulation showing green house effect. Green house effect is the phenomenon by which the green house gases absorb heat and make the temperature of the earth optimal for living.
