Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The energy budget is the balancing of incoming and outgoing energy to the earth. It can be affected by albedo, which reflects energy away from the surface (cooling), the amount of energy from the sun, which when increased causes warming, and the amount of energy trapped by the atmosphere near the surface caused by increased amount of greenhouse gases (warming).
