Correct Option is C

Explanation: If the earth continues to absorb energy than it emits then it will increase the overall temperature of the earth.

Think of it as a system in which we are doing some kind of work. Thus the work is done by the system, it will  be regarded as the negative amount as something is taken off from the system. Similarly if the system is gaining some kind of energy thus it will increasing something inside the system itself and thus it will increase the temperature.

Although the other options like discontinuation of the recycliing energy has other adverse effect as well but increment in the temperature can be considered as the prime effect.
