Answer: D

Solution.

CO_{2} is a greenhouse gas; thus, its increase will trap more heat and will cause global warming.
Also increased
CO_{2} will increase the rate of photosynthesis however, CO_{2} increase doesn't contribute towards deserted conditions
An increase in carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere would not cause abundance of desert plants as when the temperature rises (due to excessive carbon dioxide emission) their ability to take up carbon dioxide reduces
