Solution

The correct option is A True
Water vapour accounts for the largest percentage of the greenhouse effect, as it is the most abundant greenhouse gas. Between 36% and 66% for clear sky conditions and between 66% and 85% when including clouds, water vapour concentrations fluctuate regionally, but human activity does not directly affect water vapour concentrations except on minor scales, such as near irrigated fields and boilers.
