Solution
The correct option is D Nitrous oxide
Nitrous oxide is a powerful greenhouse gas produced by soil cultivation practices, especially the use of commercial organic fertilizers (including manure), biomass burning etc, This is done by a process of nitrification which converts the nitrogen in fertilizer to the production of nitrous oxide. The excessive use of the fertilizers thereby results in an increase in the nitrous oxide production.Hence, the correct answer is 'Nitrous oxide'.
