Question 12 • Biology

Which human activity is correctly paired with the greenhouse gas that it increases?

Answer
A
sewage treatment and nitrous oxide
B
landfilling and carbon dioxide
C
rice cultivation and water vapor
D
deforestation and methane

Explanation

Sewage treatment can release nitrous oxide as microbes process nitrogen compounds in wastewater. Landfills are better known for releasing methane as waste decomposes, while rice cultivation also releases methane from flooded fields. Deforestation generally increases carbon dioxide by releasing stored carbon and reducing the number of trees that absorb it.
