Explanation:

The original sentence is erroneous.

Reason: The reflexive pronoun ‘itself’ is missing in the given sentence. Reflexive pronouns reflect the action back onto the subject. A reflexive pronoun should be used with a transitive verb and it can never be used as a subject in a sentence. Hence ‘itself’ should be used after ‘warming’ in order to make the sentence grammatically correct.

Among the given choices, only option B replaces the given bold part most appropriately.

The sentence after replacement becomes:

One school of thought believes that the planet is warming itself without humans doing anything to make it happen.

Option B is hence the correct answer.
