Solution

The correct option is A

CO2, NO2 & CH4


Rice cultivation generate methane which makes up to 10 percent of total agricultural emissions. Methane is produced by livestock during digestion and released via belches

Application of synthetic fertilizers accounted for 13 percent of agricultural emission, and NO2 is a major constitute of this emission.

CO2 is produced from crop and livestock production, net forest conversion to other lands (a proxy for deforestation), degraded peatlands and biomass fires

In 2011, 44 percent of agriculture-related GHG outputs occurred in Asia, followed by the Americas (25%), Africa (15%), Europe (12%), and Oceania (4%), according to FAO's data.
