Solution
The correct option is C Nitrous oxide
The concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is increasing day by day as a result of human activity. Methane and nitrous oxide are also greenhouse gases, and both are produced on farms. Nitrous oxide traces back to nitrogen-containing fertilizers added to soils. These gases are of particular concern because they have a greater heat-trapping ability than CO2, i.e, increasing levels of nitrous oxide and methane gases have a greater effect on atmospheric temperature.
So, the correct answer is option D.
