Solution

The correct option is D Carbon dioxide, ozone and water vapours
Life is not possible without a stable atmosphere containing the right chemical ingredients for living organisms: hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon. These ingredients must be balanced. Therefore we need carbon dioxide, ozone as well as water vapours. These are present in minute quantities but are essential for life. So the correct answer is ' Carbon dioxide, ozone and water vapours'.
