Solution

The correct option is B Argon
The clean, dry air consists mainly of nitrogen at 78 per cent and oxygen at 21 per cent by volume. The remaining 1 per cent consists of a mixture of other gases, like argon at 0.9 per cent, along with traces of carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen, helium, and water vapour.
