• B. ethane
• C. propane
• D. $C{O}_2$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $C{O}_2$

A greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range. Greenhouse gases cause the greenhouse effect on planets. The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapour $\left(H_{2}O\right)$, carbon dioxide $\left(C{O}_2\right)$, methane $C{H}_4)$, nitrous oxide $\left(N_{2}O\right)$ and ozone $\left(O_3\right)$. Among the given gases, $C{O}_2$ is not present in very high quantity.
