Solution

The correct option is A a-CO2, b-CH4, c-CFCs, d-N2O
CO2 generates a little over 55% of the human-induced greenhouse effect. There are of course natural CO2 emissions (respiration of animals, plants and humanity, decaying of biomass, natural forest fires. Methane generates a little over 15% of the human-induced greenhouse effect. halocarbons generate a little over 10% of the human-induced greenhouse effect. Nitrous oxide (N2O) generates roughly 5% of the human-induced greenhouse effect.
So the correct answer is 'a-CO2, b-CH4, c-CFCs, d-N2O'.
