The correct option is D

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Nitrous oxide, a highly active greenhouse gas, is released from pastures and crops using nitrogen fertilisers.
Nitrogen in the diet(from a protein source) is not broken down efficiently by cattle. It is excreted as urea, mostly through urine. When urine and feces mix, the urea is rapidly converted into ammonia, which is then released into the atmosphere.
The poultry industry also releases large amounts of nitrogen compounds.
