The correct Answer is:
To determine which gases among the given options (A)-(E) contribute to the greenhouse effect, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Greenhouse Gases**: - The primary greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), water vapor (H2O), ozone (O3), and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). 2. **Analyze Each Gas**: - **Gas A**: CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) - This is a well-known greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to the greenhouse effect. - **Gas B**: H2O (Water Vapor) - Water vapor is also a greenhouse gas and plays a crucial role in the greenhouse effect. - **Gas C**: CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) - CFCs are synthetic compounds that are potent greenhouse gases. - **Gas D**: O2 (Oxygen) - Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas; it does not absorb infrared radiation significantly. - **Gas E**: O3 (Ozone) - Ozone is considered a greenhouse gas, especially in the troposphere where it can trap heat. 3. **Compile the Results**: - From the analysis: - Gas A (CO2): Greenhouse gas - Gas B (H2O): Greenhouse gas - Gas C (CFCs): Greenhouse gas - Gas D (O2): Not a greenhouse gas - Gas E (O3): Greenhouse gas 4. **Final Answer**: - The gases that cause the greenhouse effect among the options are A (CO2), B (H2O), C (CFCs), and E (O3). ### Conclusion: The gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect from the given options are A, B, C, and E. ---
