Solution

The correct option is B Paddy field
Paddy or the rice fields are water-logged to allow the growth of the rice crops. Due to the respiration, the carbon dioxide is released in heavy amounts by the bacteria present in the water-logged soil. However, as the season progresses, the methane-releasing bacteria are seen to occupy the paddy field. Together with the carbon dioxide, the methane becomes a greenhouse gas resulting in global warming
So, the correct answer is 'Paddy field'
