Solution

All of the options listed contain at least one greenhouse gas. Here's a breakdown:

  1. Carbon Dioxide and Methane: Both of these are greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is released through natural processes such as respiration and volcano eruptions and through human activities such as deforestation, land use changes, and burning fossil fuels. Methane (CH4) is emitted during the production and transport of coal, oil, and natural gas. It is also emitted by livestock and other agricultural practices and by the decay of organic waste in municipal solid waste landfills.

  2. Methane and Ozone: Both of these are greenhouse gases. Ozone (O3) in the lower atmosphere (troposphere) is created by chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC).

  3. Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide: Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, but carbon monoxide (CO) is not classified as a greenhouse gas although it does have indirect effects on global warming. It reacts with other pollutants and forms ground-level ozone, which is a greenhouse gas.

  4. Carbon Dioxide and Ozone: Both of these are greenhouse gases, as explained above.

So, all of the options contain at least one greenhouse gas, but the third option includes carbon monoxide, which is not directly a greenhouse gas.
