The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Gober Gas**: Gober gas, also known as biogas, is primarily produced from the anaerobic digestion of organic matter, particularly animal dung (gober). 2. **Anaerobic Digestion**: This process occurs in the absence of oxygen, where microorganisms break down the organic matter. The key microorganisms involved in this process are anaerobic bacteria. 3. **Composition of Gober Gas**: The main components of gober gas include: - Methane (CH₄): This is the primary component, making up about 50-75% of the gas. - Carbon Dioxide (CO₂): This gas constitutes about 25-30% of the composition. - Trace gases: These include small amounts of hydrogen (H₂), nitrogen (N₂), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), and ammonia (NH₃). 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the main components of gober gas are methane and carbon dioxide, with methane being the most abundant. **Final Answer**: Gober gas contains mainly methane and carbon dioxide. ---
