Solution

The correct option is D Methane
The microbes (methanogens) in the paddy field respire and release carbon dioxide. The increase in carbon dioxide increases the nearby temperature. This further results in the release of methane. Methane, in combination with carbon dioxide becomes a potent greenhouse gas. They trap the sun radiations, preventing them from reflecting back and falling on the earth's surface. This results in raising the overall global temperature.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Methane'.
