Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Global warming potential (GWP) is defined as the heat absorbed by the greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, as a multiple of the heat that would be absorbed by the same mass of `CO_2`. GWP is 1 for `CO_2`. For other gases it depends on the gas and circumstances.
