The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

  1. The relative contribution of greenhouse gases to global warming is as follows:
    • N2O (lowest),
    • CFCs,
    • CH4,
    • CO2 (highest).
  2. CO2 has the greatest overall contribution due to its abundance, while N2O has a lower impact due to its smaller concentration.
