Solution

The correct option is A

Only II


Air is a mixture of gases, water vapour and dust particles. Nitrogen and oxygen are the major components of air. The other gases are carbon dioxide, water vapour, noble gases, etc. The composition of air is not fixed and varies slightly from place to place. Nitrogen occupies 78% of the air and Oxygen occupies 21% of the air, and hence nitrogen and oxygen are the major components of air.
