A. Venus

Explanation:

The planets Venus, Earth and Mars are the only planets to have greenhouse gases in their respective atmosphere.

Venus is the planet that will really have a strong greenhouse effect. It has similarities with Earth in terms of size and mass, however the surface temperature is about 460 degrees Celsius. This is very hot.

The atmosphere in Venus is mainly made up of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.

When the green house gas (CO2) is removed in Venus there will be a very large and big decrease in the temperature compared to Earth and Mars which have lesser surface temperatures.
