Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct order is C, B, D, A, E. First, C introduces the fear about climate change and its effects. Then B explains the gases involved. D discusses how the release of gases was assumed to be gradual. A provides a solution for reducing carbon emissions, and E concludes with the projection of rapid disintegration.
