The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options is a greenhouse gas, we will analyze each option based on the definition and examples of greenhouse gases. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Greenhouse Gases**: - Greenhouse gases are substances that trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect. This effect is crucial for maintaining the Earth's temperature. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - The options provided are: - A) Seawater (CO) - B) Oxygen (O2) - C) Hydrogen (H2) - D) Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A: Seawater (CO)**: - Seawater is primarily composed of water (H2O) and does not function as a greenhouse gas. Carbon monoxide (CO) is not a significant greenhouse gas either. - **Option B: Oxygen (O2)**: - Oxygen is essential for life but does not trap heat in the atmosphere, making it not a greenhouse gas. - **Option C: Hydrogen (H2)**: - Hydrogen is a light gas and does not contribute to the greenhouse effect, so it is not a greenhouse gas. - **Option D: Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)**: - CFCs are synthetic compounds known to trap heat in the atmosphere and are recognized as greenhouse gases. 4. **Conclusion**: - Among the options, the only greenhouse gas is **Option D: CFCs**. ### Final Answer: One of the greenhouse gases is **CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons)**. ---
