Solution

The correct option is D Nitrogen
  • Certain gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons are called greenhouse gases because they absorb and thus trap some of the radiation.
  • Nitrogen is the second most abundant gas found in the atmosphere after oxygen. These gases do not have the ability to intercept with infrared radiation and hence they do not contribute to causing the greenhouse effect.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Nitrogen'.
